Mock Trial Team Bows Out in State Semifinals

Maimonides School's mock trial season ended two wins short of the state championship Monday, as the team lost a closely-contested trial to Marshfield High School in the state semifinals. The panel of judges awarded Marshfield a slight victory, ending Maimonides' six-trial winning streak and disappointing a contingent of more than two dozen students who have been aiming since last fall for a repeat of the school's 2009 state title. Monday's trial took place at the Moakley Federal Courthouse in South Boston.
