[Phoenix, AZ] –A Tucson City Court Judge and a Tucson attorney have been named the 2010 Mark Santana Law-Related Education Award Recipients. Hon. Susan Shetter and Jan Wezelman will be recognized for their years of tireless service to the Arizona High School Mock Trial program. The Mark Santana Law-Related Education Award recognizes exceptional contributions of Arizona attorneys or law firms in furthering education and understanding of the role of the law in our democratic society. This award focuses on public awareness on the contributions that attorneys provide to the community. Given annually, the Award will be presented at the 2010 Arizona Foundation for Legal Services & Education Awards luncheon on June 10th, 2010 at the Renaissance Glendale Hotel & Spa.
About Hon. Susan Shetter and Jan Wezelman:
Susan and Jan have volunteered their time with the Mock Trial program for over 15 years, giving up many weekends through October and March each year. As a team, they teach University High School students in Tucson about rules of evidence, how to enter and respond to objections, and the best way to craft, direct, and cross examine. Susan and Jan teach the students that it is important to understand all points of view in a case and to understand each person’s story. Students learn how to operate at the highest level of professionalism in the courtroom and to expect the best from themselves. Susan and Jan are “tireless in their devotion” and their “enthusiasm is infectious.” The work they have done has touched countless students, many of which they still stay in contact with to this day.
