LB Fifth Grade Students Learn from Real Hearings and High School Mock Trials Ahead of Upcoming Competitions

The Long Beach Public Schools’ four fifth-grade Mock Trial teams recently visited the Nassau County Supreme Court for a unique, hands-on learning experience that brought their classroom studies into the real world of law and justice. The trip was highlighted by a special invitation to observe a live courtroom hearing and a personal visit to the chambers of the Honorable Judge Ellen Tobin, a Long Beach parent and longtime supporter of the district’s Mock Trial program.

Judge Tobin graciously welcomed all four teams, representing Lido, East, West, and Lindell Elementary Schools. The Long Beach students had the rare opportunity to witness a real courtroom hearing involving a lively case about asset division. Afterward, Judge Tobin answered questions and personally guided them through the courthouse to observe high school teams competing in their own Mock Trial events, providing valuable insight for the fifth graders as they prepare for their upcoming competitions.

The Long Beach fifth-grade Mock Trial program includes 51 students who have been working in teams, supported by volunteer attorneys helping prepare both prosecution and defense arguments for the case The People of the State of New York v. Noah Gray. These dedicated students will present their cases in competitions at the Nassau County Supreme Court on May 19th and June 3rd.

“Our students were so engaged and enthusiastic about this opportunity,” said Long Beach Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction Janna Ostroff. “Visiting the court and seeing older students in action was an inspiring moment that gave them a sense of what’s to come.”

The Long Beach program is led by advisors Dana Monti, Caroline Espinet, Dr. Justin Sulsky, and Michael Vasikauskas. Special thanks to the following volunteer Attorney Advisors, Gabriella Amato, Thomas Haberlack, Arlette Herrera, Denis Kelly, Joseph Lupo, Hillary Massey, Scott Nigro, Philip Rizzuto Sr., Philip Rizzuto Jr. and Shawn Schatzle

With their official mock summons in hand, the fifth graders are excitedly preparing to take the courtroom stage ready to deliver compelling arguments as prosecutors or defense attorneys.
