Who Do You Play For?
The flurry of activity that happens after the holidays seems to sneak up on us every year. We come out of the lull of the holidays, briefly enchanted by a false sense of stillness, only to discover the mound of to-do lists and project deadlines that have been piling up.
But that’s life, isn’t it? Rapidly moving, gaining momentum with each passing year. And as we get older, it seems like every day, the need to make our mark grows stronger.

2020 Mock Trial Participants Dazzle
That's what the judges for this year's District and Regional Mock Trials had to say about the teams of students who participated. The Mock Trial Committee is grateful to the Akron Bar Foundation for making the event possible, the volunteer judges who participated, as well as the many judges who opened their courtrooms. A special thanks to Judge McCarty for opening her office as operations central for the committee. The Akron Public Library/Main Branch provided the ideal location for an awards presentation that was well attended by parents and grandparents of the students who participated.
Based on scores, Hoover and two teams from Hoban are heading to the state competition.
