Congratulations to our moot court contestants who competed this past Sat at the Roger Williams University School of Law courtroom. Our student attorneys attend 14 different middle and high schools throughout RI. The participants gained insight into the appellate process in an immersive hands on experience. We extend our gratitude to our student attorneys Amy Domenack and Jonte' Mckenzie for their commitment to prepare our girls for court. We also appreciate all the law school students who volunteered to judge our competition; your involvement had a significant impact. A big thank you to Celina Andrade for serving as one of our esteemed judges. We extend our thanks to Dean Lorraine Lalli, and Dr. Safietou Sagna for their unwavering support from the start! Last but not least, we are grateful to the Rhode Island Governor's Workforce Board for their financial support, which helped make this event possible. #RICBW #Blackgirls #LEAD #Justice #RhodeIsland #Equity
