CACJ thanks the following lawyers and judges that volunteered their time to preside over and/or score the trials in our recent trial advocacy competition. The competition featured 28 law school teams from all around the country; the level of preparation and skill exhibited by the student/participants was impressive and the resulting competition was intense. The universal feedback from schools that participated was that this was an exceptional competition. It could not have happened without the commitment of time and energy by so many fine judges and lawyers.
The final four teams came from Northwestern, Cal Western, Hastings and Pepperdine. In the final trial, presided over by the Honorable Martin Jenkins with juror/scorers Jim Brosnahan and Cris Arguedas, Northwestern barely prevailed.
