Cork Leaving Cert student Christina to hold court in California

A Cork Leaving Certificate student is the only European to be invited to participate in a prestigious legal competition in California later this year.

Christina O’Donovan, a student at Coláiste na Toirbhirte, Bandon, has been invited to participate in the Gladiator Stand-Up Mock Trials in the Sunshine State in the summer.

The invitation arrived on foot of her outstanding performance last October at the prestigious Empire Mock Trials World Finals at the US district court for the eastern district of New York in Brooklyn.
