(Thomas A. Manglona II)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Northern Mariana Humanities Council, in collaboration with the Guma\u2019 Hustisia, will host the 10th annual Junior High Mock Trial this Saturday. The competition will commence at 9am at the House of Justice and is expected to end around noon.<\/p>\n<p>According to junior high mock trial coordinator Eulalia Villagomez, this year\u2019s mock trial event has the largest school participation. Participating schools are Admiral Herbert G. Hopwood Junior High School, Chacha Ocean View Middle School, Rota\u2019s Dr. Rita H. Inos Junior High School, Rota\u2019s Eskuelan San Francisco de Borja, Rota\u2019s Grace Christian Academy, Mount Carmel School, Tinian Junior High School, and Whispering Palms School.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think this will be the best one because we have more participants than previous years,\u201d Villagomez told Saipan Tribune.<\/p>\n<p>Although the schools will be arguing the same case as the recent High School Mock Trial competition, the event is not competitive. However, individual students will be recognized for their outstanding performances after each round.<\/p>\n<p>This year Superior Court judges Joseph Camacho and Teresa Kim-Tenorio and associate justices Perry Inos and John Manglona will be presiding over the junior high trials. Manglona will be delivering the opening remarks.<\/p>\n<p>Villagomez is inviting members of the community to attend the free event because \u201cit is fun to watch, students really get in touch with their roles as lawyers and witnesses.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The event will also mark the Humanities Council\u2019s 10th year of hosting the junior high mock trial.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Northern Mariana Humanities Council, in collaboration with the Guma\u2019 Hustisia, will host the 10th&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":31729,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[88],"class_list":["post-31727","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-local-news","tag-superior-court"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31727","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=31727"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31727\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/31729"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=31727"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=31727"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=31727"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
