Our Coaches

John Molloy

John is our head coach & adopted father. We can always count on him for his legal expertise, movie references none of us know, musical theatre songs, or Lord of the Rings facts. He is responsible for the team’s nicknames which he easily curated considering the amount of time he spends with us. John is a judge and because of that he does not hesitate to tell us when we miss the 30000 non-responsive objections we could have made during trial.

 

Denia Angelino

Denia is currently a Deputy Public Defender with the Riverside County Public Defender’s Office. She graduated from Stetson University College of Law in Gulfport, FL, and passed the California Bar on her first try. She is originally from Los Angeles and the first in my family to graduate high school and go to college. Denia has done Mock Trial competitions in high school, undergrad, and briefly in law school. Her love for Mock Trial and passion for mentoring led me to coaching the Mock Trial team. Her favorite part about coaching is witnessing the members of the team unlock a new level of their potential and their confidence.
