Delaware Law’s Carson Francis Earns Recognition in Montgomery County Mock Trial Competition

Widener University Delaware Law School student Carson Francis earned a top placement in the Montgomery County District Attorney’s annual mock trial competition, the culminating exercise for certified legal interns serving in the district attorney’s office.

Francis was recognized after prosecuting a challenging fictitious homicide case before senior members of the district attorney’s leadership team.
