NEW BRUNSWICK – Princeton Day School of Mercer County won the annual Vincent J. Apruzzese High School Mock Trial Competition on March 20, edging out Mendham High School of Morris County for the state title. The final matchup, hosted by the New Jersey State Bar Foundation, was the culmination of a statewide tournament that involved more than 3,000 students from 209 high schools in all 21 counties. With the win, Princeton Day School earned the right to represent New Jersey in the upcoming National High School Mock Trial Championship, held in Little Rock, Arkansas. New Jersey Supreme Court Chief Justice Stuart Rabner and retired Passaic County Judge Marilyn C. Clark presided over the championship round. Members of the Mainland High School team of Atlantic County, who placed third, served as jurors and received awards. The Foundation also honored Cypress Drueding from Cumberland County Technical Education Center for drawing the winning sketch in the High School Courtroom Artist Contest.
