Michael L. Resnick

Syprett Meshad president, Attorney Michael Resnick, will be a scoring judge in this weekend’s 12th Judicial Circuit High School Mock Trial Competition, organized by the Young Lawyer’s Division of the Sarasota County Bar Association. The event will give Manatee and Sarasota high school students an opportunity to explore their interest in the legal professional by participating in mock trials – often about hot button issues of the day – in a real courtroom in front of active judges and attorney juries.

Students are scored on a variety of aspects including legal knowledge, ethics and integrity, preparedness, and their ability to think and respond quickly. The competition takes place Saturday, February 27, on the second floor of the Judge Lynn N. Silvertooth Judicial Center, located at 2002 Ringling Boulevard in Sarasota.

Mock Trials will take place at the Judge Lynn N. Silvertooth Judicial Center.
