Three CHS Moot Court Teams Are Top 8 in Nation

Three CHS Moot Court teams are top 8 in the nation. The Creekview High School moot court teams have broken to semifinals in the Harlan Institute Virtual Moot Court Tournament. These teams are now Top 8 in the nation and will compete for a spot in the final round in Washington, D.C.

The teams are:

Mahak Merchant and Simon Peña

Makaylia Askew and Joanna Boyer

Aileen Mai and Amena Tep

Simon, Joanna, Aileen, and Amena are simultaneously working on the Duke Moot Court case and will be arguing these two different cases within the same week.

Joanna is also competing in the Texas Citizenship Bee and will thus be competing in three different competitions in the same week.

This year’s Harlan Institute case dealt with whether or not a warrant is required under the 4th Amendment for Law Enforcement to obtain Cell Site Location Data from a cell phone provider. The actual case, Carpenter v. U.S., is currently pending before the U.S. Supreme Court.

CHS Mock Trial Team Wins 2018 State Competition

CHS Mock Trial Team wins 2018 state competition, paving the way for nationals in Reno. Mock Trial students from Creekview High School attended the 39th Annual Texas High School Mock Trial Competition last weekend. Thousands of high school students from across the state participate each year in the highly energetic and challenging academic competition. The program provides a way for students to gain an “insider’s view” of the U.S. judicial system. Additionally, participants gain confidence speaking in front of others. The competition is open to all high school students – public, private and home school. The Dallas Bar Association Mock Trial Committee is responsible for the organization and administration of the statewide high school mock trial program. Each calendar year, over 160 schools compete for top honors.

The Mustangs argued a hypothetical civil court case written by local attorneys with the Dallas Bar Association. Creekview’s winning performance earned the school a back-to-back championship and the fifth in the last six years. The Creekview team will now take that win into the national competition in May in Reno, Nevada. The Texas High School Mock Trial Competition has had more than 120,000 participants and has awarded approximately $300,000 in scholarships at the local, regional and state levels.

Local television station, Channel 5, also covered the event.
