This season has been one of transition for the Judge Mock Trial team. Eight of the 14 members of the team are seniors, while the other six are freshmen. Seven of the seniors have been part of Mock Trail all four years at Judge. These seniors have experienced three consecutive State championships (2006, 2007 and 2008). While the team did not continue the state championship streak, they have taught the incoming group of freshmen about what it takes to compete successfully and well.

The team held a celebration party and baby shower recently at the home of Christina Romero. Coaches Brent Hall and Nicole Salazar-Hall are expecting their first child this summer. Brent and Nicole have been assisted by two Judge parents, who are attorneys: Gregg Brelsford, father of Jimin, who is on the team; and Sharon Donovan, mother of Katie Harrington, a Judge senior, who is not on the team.
