The bill, S. 472, is a Senate Resolution that congratulates the Strom Thurmond High School mock trial team, along with their coaches and school officials, for winning the South Carolina Bar's 2025 State High School Mock Trial Championship. This victory marks the team's eleventh state championship, and they competed against eleven other high schools, with Bob Jones Academy of Greenville being the first runner-up. The mock trial competition involved presenting both prosecution and defense sides of a fictitious criminal case, and the teams were judged on their presentation skills rather than the legal merits of the case.

The resolution highlights the educational benefits of participating in mock trials, such as developing critical thinking, collaboration, and an understanding of the legal system. It acknowledges the contributions of the team's members and their coaches, including teachers Thomas Behr, Steve McKinney, and Denise Jackson, as well as attorney coaches Blair Massey and Senator Shane Massey. The resolution expresses appreciation for the pride and recognition the team has brought to their school and community, and it concludes with a directive to present a copy of the resolution to the team and its coaches.
