WatchMock

Hi everyone,

My name is Phil Pasquarello.  I'm an AMTA alum, the Trial Competition Director at Drexel Kline Law, and one of the co-hosts of Trial by Combat.  I'm starting a new series called WatchMock, where I watch some of the best performances on the high school, college, and law school circuits with the individuals who were involved.  Our first episode debuts this Wednesday at 10:30 AM on the Trial by Combat YouTube page.  Bennett Demsky and I watched his cross examination in the final round of Trial by Combat 2021.  We think you'll enjoy it.  If you have any suggestions for performances you want us to watch on the show or guests to have on, please reply.

The next episode of Watch featuring Audrey Shepard is on the Trial by Combat YouTube channel and below.  We watch Audrey's cross examination in her fourth preliminary round at TBC.  If you haven't seen episode 1 with Bennett Demsky, I am including that link below as well.

Newest episode posted featuring Kynzie Clark. We watch her performance in the 2021 NCT Final Round, discuss Yale's six straight appearances in NCT final rounds, and her secret to an effective character witness.

We welcome any suggestions for future guests / performances to watch. Reply on this thread or private message me!

Our September 2021 episode of WatchMock is posted on YouTube.  For this episode, I was joined by Enrico Trevisani of the UCLA Law to watch his closing argument from the Championship Round of the 2020 Summit Cup national mock trial tournament.  We discuss Enrico's historic 2020-2021 season, the importance of pacing, and the Trevisani Tax.
