A very simple solution...
Declare Mock Trial to be a sport, move it to under the jurisdiction of the Athletic Department and then the team members can miss as many classes as the basketball, softball, baseball, et al, players with little regard to education.
Okay, not really a viable solution; but I feel better with that rant out of my system.

Subject: Religious discrimination issue
There has been some vehement discussion in NY regarding the high school mock trial national tournament not accomodating teams from Orthodox Jewish schools in that competitions are held Friday evening and Saturday. Of course, fundamental Christian schools refuse to compete on Sundays. State and Federal courthouses---where these tournaments are held---tend only to be available on the weekends.
In collegiate mock trial, we (I am legal counsel to the mock trial board of directors) state that we discriminate against ALL religions and have competitions from Friday night through Sunday evenings. What are your thoughts on this kind of "discrimination?" How can we in mock trial "reasonably accomodate."
