The Raiders were led by senior counsel, Craig Canizaro and Allan Feltes. Other Mock Trialers include junior Ben Picone, sophomores Richard Vogt and Chris Bayer, Freshman Adam Prevaux, Jeff Cristina, Alvin Loi, and Michael Reece, and 8th Grader, Andrew Roberts. At the first meeting of the year, a huge group of freshman and eighth-graders show their interest. The number of people dwindles, though, when they realize a lot of hard work and dedication is needed. On arrival of the second meeting, a quiz is taken to see if everyone has reviewed the information about the case.
Many people are scared away with the thought of outside homework and test taking.
After that only the hard core law lovers are left. Don't be fooled though, mock trial is not just about lawyers. Witnesses are needed to take the stand, and not everyone has the charisma to be a witness. There is a place for almost anyone who joins the team and wants to stick with it. The meetings are twice a week for and last about an hour.
