St. John’s Law was swarming with 200 12- and 13-year-olds this morning as we hosted our 20th annual Middle School Mock Trial Program. So much energy, enthusiasm, and earnest advocacy! Many thanks to our sponsors @DuffyDuffyLaw and @HarrisBeach

I’ve been off Twitter since last summer, but dropping in now to mark the end of another wonderful academic year @StJohnsLaw. Had so much fun celebrating with 1Ls at the annual Simons vs. DeGirolami soccer game (congrats to @MarcODeGirolami on the win)
