Tab Summary

3rd place at Arch Invitational!Oct 19

On Friday, October 19, 2012, seven mockers met at a street corner in West Philadelphia. It was the first time the Magnificent Seven had ever assembled as a team. Without any scripts or roles, they boarded the plane for St. Louis, where the next morning they would compete in the Arch Invitational, hosted by WashU. Every round fully embraced Penn Mock Trial's motto: "DO IT LIVE." Different attorneys, different witnesses, different theories, and different cross examinations. With nothing more than a knowledge of the case materials, MagSev put on four exceedingly responsive trials, directly clashing with the super-scripted and formal style of the MidWest. The result? Three perfect-ranked witness roles, one perfect ranked plaintiff closer, and a 20-rank attorney award for Trisha Jain, who both opened and closed for the defense. MagSev tied for 2nd with 7 wins and the highest point differential in the tournament, placing 3rd with CS.
