Bradenton, FL, November 19, 2014 --(PR.com)-- Personal injury and civil trial attorney Elisabeth A. DeWitt of Shapiro Goldman Babboni & Walsh volunteered as the presiding judge for the 2014 E. Earle Zehmer Mock Trial Competition.

The 2014 E. Earle Zehmer Mock Trial Competition was held at the George E. Edgecomb Courthouse in Tampa, FL on November 8th & 9th.

The mock trial competition is designed to test the courtroom abilities of the next generation of lawyers currently attending schools all around Florida.

Attorney Beth DeWitt had this comment about volunteering as the presiding judge, “To be able to participate in the development of the next generation of trial attorneys in Florida is a great honor. As someone who works daily to protect the rights of the injured in cases of negligence I see first hand how important a strong civil justice system is to Florida and the country. The mock trial competition is a great way to further introduce students to the rigors of courtroom battles that can be a part of contentious legal cases with important outcomes.”
