Executive Board
President: Caleb Silvergleid
Majors: History and Philosophy
Minors: Leadership, Religious Studies, and Law & the Liberal Arts
Caleb is a senior from Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania. He has been impersonating lawyers, government agents, and clinical psychologists in front of real judges for seven years, and surprisingly has not been caught yet. The strange organization that keeps putting him up to this has, even more surprisingly, Stockholm Syndromed him into 'leading' it. Caleb hopes, apparently, for his "team to do really well, to meet some really great, motivated, people, to have fun with them, and then beat everyone else with them." Perhaps someone should tell him to get a couple new hobbies. On that note, in his spare time, Caleb does like long-distance running and backpacking, squash, and miniature wargaming.
Vice President: Will Hisle
Majors: Greek, Latin, and History
Minor: Japanese
Will is a senior hailing from Moseley, VA. He has been doing mock trial since his freshman year
of college, and is excited (and a touch sad) to close out his final year! Mock trial has provided
Will with not only an invaluable intellectual outlet, but it has also given him a wonderful
community of fantastic folks! In his last year of mock trial, Will hopes to faithfully serve his
team as VP, and to continue learning about what it means to mock! When not mocking the floor
with other teams, Will enjoys studying Japanese (he’s a closet weaboo), and listening to music for hours on end.
Council member: Sally Brouhard
Majors: Mathematical Economics and Political Science
Minor: Data Science & Statistics and French
Sally is a sophomore from Sharon, MA. She has been competing in Mock Trial since her junior year of high school, and is thrilled to be a member of the executive board this year. Mock Trial was a defining feature of her first year on campus, and she is incredibly grateful for the wonderful people that she has met as a part of the program. When not obsessing over the case packet in Jepson, Sally enjoys reading, playing Tetris, and fostering her caffeine addiction.
council member: Mary Margaret Clouse
Majors: Journalism and English
Mary Margaret is a senior from Huntington, WV. She has been on the mock trial team since freshman year and loves competing almost as much as she loves winning. Outside of practices and tournament weekends she can be found writing and editing articles and poems for The Collegian and The Messenger —Richmond’s student newspaper and literary magazine — giving campus tours, working in the UR Museums, reading, traveling, and going to as many concerts as possible.
council member: Josie mastandrea
Majors: Leadership Studies & PPEL (Philosophy, Politics, Economics, & Law)
Minor: Philosophy
Josie is a junior from Boston, MA. She began doing mock trial her sophomore year of high school and has sold her soul to her team ever since. She has fallen in love with the law, and thus genuinely enjoys writing directs, crosses, and closings–perhaps more than she should. At Richmond, Josie made some great friends and interesting memories during her first two years, and is so happy she found this weird little community to belong to. Outside of mock trial, you will find Josie at the gym or playing soccer, football, beach volleyball… pretty much any sport she can rally some friends to play.
