During Youth Judicial, our team placed 8th in the state. Additionally, I was elected to serve as a Supreme Court Justice at the Alabama Youth in Government Conference, where I was tasked with determining the constitutionality of various bills over a three-day event.

For both of these competitions, I prepared a detailed written event of up to 20 pages, along with a presentation.
