The 2017-18 Mock Trial Team

The Lake Highlands High School Mock Trial Team is selling raffle tickets to raise money for their upcoming Empire Tournament in Atlanta, and they don’t have much time. The deposit on their $2,000 entry fee is due June 1, plus they’ll need money for hotel rooms for the kids and volunteer sponsors.

You can help by purchasing raffle tickets for $20 each (3 for $50), and if you win you’ll take home $1,000 in NorthPark Gold or another great prize.

The team has been successful over the past several years and has actively recruited students with a diverse set of skills and backgrounds. If the team does well, their goal is to move on to Empire’s World Championship Nov. 19 at the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York – high cotton.

Kim Elkjer helps teacher sponsors Tracey Bishkin and Katie Spurgin coach the team, and you can email her to purchase tickets at kimelkjer@gmail.com.
