✨⚖️ Happy Law Day! ⚖️✨

Today, several GPNA attorneys traded their desks for the courtroom—well, a mock courtroom—at St. Elizabeth Seton with 4th and 5th grade students!

The case? The State vs. Harry Potter 🧙‍♂️
The charge? Second-degree murder of Professor Quirrell 👀

Our talented cast included:
👩‍⚖️ Judge – Jana Smoot White
⚖️ State – Rich Williams
🛡️ Defense – Katie Cook
🧙‍♂️ Harry Potter – Aidan Goetzinger
🐍 Lord Voldemort – Jason Smiley
🧪 Severus Snape – Tyler Wetering
📚 Hermione Granger – Ashley McDonald
🧙‍♂️ Albus Dumbledore – Matt Naasz
🕷️ Rubeus Hagrid – Owen Wiese
👩‍⚖️ Jury – The students!

After hearing the evidence, the jury delivered their verdict…
🎉 NOT GUILTY! 🎉

Thank you to St. Elizabeth Seton for having us—we had an incredible time bringing the law to life in such a fun way!
