The YGW boys division has had the privilege of participating in the Maryland Youth and the Law (MYLAW) Mock Trial program for the past five years. Mock Trial participants learn the valuable skills of argumentation, public speaking, and proper decorum in a formal setting, while also obtaining a greater understanding and appreciation of Maryland law and the legal system. This past season, the YGW Mock Trial team clinched a spot in the highly competitive Montgomery County playoffs, where they were defeated by Berman Hebrew Academy in a very tight match with stellar performances all around.
