The Honorable James P. King Moot Court/Mock Trial Program honors the memory of Judge James P. King, Siena's Distinguished Jurist-in-Residence (2004-2010), Moot Court/Mock Trial coach, and role model to our students. Judge King was an educator, a mentor, and a friend who will always be remembered fondly by the Siena community for his commitment and dedication to the Moot Court/Mock Trial Teams.
