Once again, Creekview High School’s Mock Trial heads to state competition. Over the last two weekends, Creekview Mock Trial has been competing in Regionals in the Dallas Bar Association’s Mock Trial Competition, which involves hundreds of teams from across the state. Creekview advanced from the first weekend of Regionals and beat Frisco and Plano West in single elimination rounds last weekend to advance to the State competition in March.
The Team
The team includes attorneys Allen Mason, Kassandra Busby, and Liza Frolova; witnesses Jazmin Torres, Harris Pierce, and Yusraa Tariq; paralegal Isabella Barkat; and coach Brian Sheguit.
Creekview Mock Trial has earned the state championship six times, including five of the last six years. This year’s case is a criminal manslaughter case about a patient who had a fatal allergic reaction to medication after a hacker put the hospital’s paperless records system offline demanding a ransom. It is loosely based on an episode of Grey’s Anatomy.
