On November 22, 2025, Stroudsburg High School hosted the Monroe County Bar Association’s annual Mock Trial Invitational. Nine different schools came to compete, bringing a total of fifteen different teams. It was a busy day with a lot of really strong competitor, but Stroudsburg had a standout moment of it’s own.
One of Stroudsburg’s attorneys, Mikaela Lipitz, 26′, won the award for Best Attorney. She earned it through her performance which was confident and well-put-together. Her cross-examination was sharp and organized, and her closing statement showed that she really understood the case. The judges also pointed out how her objections were consistently accurate and how she stayed calm and professional the whole time.
Overall, the Invitational was a big success, and Lipitz’s win was a proud moment for the whole team.
