Congratulations to our very own Dr. LaRowe and the Mock Trial Team(s). Mock Trial provides a wonderful opportunity for our Pre-Law students to experience case law and how courts function in practice. A special thanks to the Evansville Bar Association and Foundation for their gracious $2,000 donation. Without such donations our students would not have these unique opportunities.

We’re proud to celebrate our Mock Trial Team! Yesterday, the team was awarded a $2,000 check from the Evansville Bar Foundation in recognition of their hard work, dedication, and commitment to excellence.

We’re grateful for the Evansville Bar Foundation’s generous support and for the continued encouragement of our students as they grow their skills both in and out of the courtroom! 🎉
