More Trial Team Success
The Trial Team performed extraordinarily in the American Association of Justice Student Trial Advocacy Regional Competition in Pittsburgh on March 1-4. A squad made up of Ted Kopec, Cynthia Jentsch, Stephen Kulp and Racquel Hubbs defeated the defending national champs (Duquesne) and advanced to the finals, where they performed extremely well but lost in a 2-1 decision. Advancing to the finals was a huge hurdle, since the competition winnowed from 16 teams to four. A second squad made up of Jared Margulies, Eddie Kang, Haley Welch and Doug Lavenberg won two out of three rounds but narrowly missed the cut to advance.
Please congratulate the team and coaches Drew Sciolla, Brian Kent and Matt Leckman on their tremendous performance! ^ Back to Top
