The Creekview High School Mock Trial team competed at the Empire Mock Trial Tournament in Atlanta, GA. In 4 rounds, over the course of 2 days, students presented both the prosecution and defense sides in a criminal case. The case involved a confrontation between a white supremacist speaker at a public university and a counter-protester. Students also argued a pre-trial motion. The motion concerned whether, under the first amendment, the university could charge a disproportionate security fee to the speaker based upon a conclusion that his speech could incite violence.

Creekview High School Law Academy students Joanna Boyer and Makaylia Askew just returned from a whirlwind trip to New York City. The trip was their prize for winning the Harlan Institute/ConSource Virtual Supreme Court Competition last year. At the competition, one of the finals judges was current Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. The students were able to attend a Constitution Day Celebration featuring a Q & A with Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor and they went backstage to meet her in person.
