On Saturday, May 16th, J2J held a Mock Appellate Oral Argument Competition and Judicial Panel at the Connecticut Supreme Court. The day began with a full competition where two Teams consisting of scholars ranging from our Middle schoolers to our High school, College and Post Grad scholars argued a fictitious case “Our Citizens’ Tax Dollars vs. State of CT” before 6 Federal and State judges. Our scholars maintained their poise and were adept in arguing the facts and the law as well as answering each judge’s questions. Overall they did an excellent job!
