Summary
On this episode of Discover Boston College, host George Kaparis ’27 sits down with Natalie Garayeva ’27 and Jacquovia Higgs ’27, co-presidents of the BC Mock Trial Program, to pull back the curtain on a competitive team that trains like a courtroom — and bonds like family. Hear how four equal “A” teams, an entirely student-run structure (no stacked teams, no external coach), and intense preparation weeks shape both performance and friendships. From the logistics of traveling coast-to-coast for invitationals, and a messy-but-memorable opening statement at Berkeley, this conversation shows how practice, grit, and laughter come together when the stakes are highest.
