First-time competitors win awards
“It was so much fun to be a part of this team and work with both of my amazing attorneys! We worked very hard and put a lot of detail into my witnesses—and that work paid off. It was even more incredible to win a witness award at my first ever competition! I am so thankful to my entire team and so proud of our performances.”
--said Megan Taylor, left, a second-year student, who with Leighton Heiner, right, a first-year student, was granted outstanding witness award at their very first competition.
