Haig Ter-Ghevondian and Harout Hamzoian, students at Rose and Alex
Pilibos Armenian School in Hollywood, received major awards at the
Los Angeles County Mock Trial competition awards ceremony on Monday,
November 29, 2010 at the Stanley Mosk Courthouse.
The Mock Trial competition is open to all schools, public and private,
in Los Angeles County. Each Mock Trial team is composed of prosecution
and defense attorneys and witnesses, and each team argues the case
created for the competition that year. Each team has a faculty sponsor
and an attorney coach to help them understand and argue the finer
points of the law in the case.
This year the Pilibos Mock Trial team's attorney coach was an alumnus
of the school, Garo Daglian of the Daglian Law Group.
Haig Ter-Ghevondian was recognized for his performance in questioning
and cross-examining witnesses and delivering the defense's closing
argument with the award for Outstanding Defense attorney.
Harout Hamzoian did such a good job of portraying the witness Chris
Draper that he was given the award for Outstanding Prosecution
Witness. This year almost 60 high schools, public and private,
participated in the Los Angeles county Mock Trial competition, and
the awards make no distinctions between public and private schools,
or between large and small schools.
"We are, of course, very proud of our students," said Nazo Apanian,
principal of Rose and Alex Pilibos Armenian School, "who were
recognized out of the almost 1,000 total students who participated
in this competition. We are also equally proud of our school and our
teachers who provided them with the preparation and skills to perform
in such an outstanding manner. Special thanks must go to Garo Daglian
of the Daglian Law Group who generously donated his time and efforts
to help make our team such a great success this year."
