I spent yesterday as a judge in the American Mock Trial Association's 2021 Opening Round Championship Series Tournament, which matches teams of collegiate competitors from colleges and universities across the United States. Having first participated as a judge in 2019 when the Regional Tournament was held at Princeton University, I was as impressed with the young people I witnessed in action yesterday - who competed via ZOOM - as I was with the ones I saw in action up close and personal two years ago.
A reminder that for all the grousing that graybeards (such as the guy who stares back at me in the bathroom mirror every morning when I brush my teeth) do about "kids today", the future belongs to the young...
...and deservedly so.
