Introduction
Hello future Justices,
My name is Sarah Van Vliet and I will be representing the prosecution and the people of Croatia during the trial. I’m also a second year here at Berkeley, and PEIS (Political Economies of Industrialized Societies) major, with a potential minor in either Scandinavian Studies or Public Policy. I grew up right here in Berkeley, though in high school I took a year off to study in Denmark. Last summer I also had the opportunity to study in Cambridge, England, and next fall I hope to have an internship in Geneva. As you can see, one of my major interests is travelling, as well as learning new languages and meeting new people. Whenever I have free time (which isn’t very often), I enjoy hanging out with my friends, hiking, and skiing.
Though I have only minimal experience in mock trial, I’m very excited to be exploring such a fascinating topic. I hope you all have as good a time with it as we are, and I look forward to meeting you all next month!
Cheers,
Sarah
