On Saturday 22nd March the Banbridge Academy Bar Mock Trial team attended the Old Bailey in London to participate in the National Final of this prestigious competition. The team competed in 3 rounds, trying the prosecution and defence sides of two cases. In Round 1 we were up against The Rochester Grammar School, in Round 2 we were pitted against The Boswells School and in the third round our opponents were Harrogate Grammar School. It was an amazing experience in stunning and historic surroundings. Our opponents in Round 2, The Boswells School were the overall winner of the competition and we were satisfied because our Case against them was very close with the two teams evenly matched, giving us confidence in our performance and for the future. While in London, we did have some downtime from our legal battles and visited many of the main tourist attractions and the Sky Garden. This really was a once in a lifetime experience and well done to the whole team on their meticulous preparation.
