gene franchini mock trial state finals competition . . .

The state finals competition takes place in Albuquerque each year. Finals consists of three rounds among all teams. Each team will present each side (prosecution/plaintiff or defense) of the case once - in rounds 1 and 2 - and one or the other in round 3.

The results are calculated and awards are presented to the top three teams at the Awards Banquet and Dance.  Individual  awards are also given to any student who is selected by a judging panel as an outstanding witness or attorney. In addition, the two students who receive the greatest number of points as attorneys or witnesses from the judges during the three rounds will be named the Zamzok Most Outstanding Attorney and Witness; these awards are funded annually by Albuquerque attorney Larry Zamzok.

A summary of the final results will be posted on the CCV website and copies of the official ballots are sent to each team in the week following the event.
