In November, two Holy Cross teams participated in a mock trial tournament held on the campuses of Brown University and Roger Williams University in Rhode Island. Of the 28 teams in attendance, the Holy Cross squads finished in second and fourth place.

Other schools participating were: Lafayette College; Fordham University; Pennsylvania State University; New York University; Amherst College; Wellesley College; University of Buffalo; University of New Hampshire; and Manchester Community College. Fourth-year students, Matthew Pieraldi and Neil Petersen, won individual awards—Pieraldi, as the highest ranked attorney in the entire tournament, and Petersen, as “best witness.”
