On Friday, February 23, 2007 Mount Pleasant High School sent three members of the World Affairs club (pictured above) to a Mock International Court of Justice sponsored by the World Affairs Council of Philadelphia. The students participated in a role-playing court case debating the territorial dispute between India and Pakistan over the Kashmir region.

Freshmen Peter Andrews and Alexey Shiklomanov shared the role of a witness for Pakistan. Peter Andrews presented the case to the court and was the witness Pakistan chose to recall. Zach Leonard, president of the school World Affairs Club, played the role of Raymond Ranjeva, judge from Madagascar.

This is the first event in which the club has participated. Mount Pleasant was the only school from Delaware represented at this event.
