<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-size:15.0pt; font-family:"Garamond",serif; color:black"> </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-size:15.0pt; font-family:"Garamond",serif; color:black">Campbell Law third-year students Miriam Sheppard and Mike Vitale, along with second-year students Christian Allred, Adia McLaughlin, and
Liza Trent competed at the Tournament of Champions national mock trial competition this past weekend. </span><span style="font-size:15.0pt; font-family:"Garamond",serif; color:black">The National Board of Trial Advocacy is the annual sponsor of the Tournament
of Champions.</span><span style="font-size:15.0pt; font-family:"Garamond",serif; color:black"> This year the Tournament of Champions trial competition was hosted by Loyola University Chicago School of Law. The competition problem involved prosecuting and defending
an individual charged with murder and/or manslaughter. </span><span style="font-size:15.0pt; font-family:"Garamond",serif; color:black; background:white">The trial demanded students apply complex principles of evidence and criminal procedure while persuasively
arguing on behalf of the prosecution and defendant. </span><span style="font-size:15.0pt; font-family:"Garamond",serif; color:black">Miriam and Mike flipped masterfully as lawyers between representing the two opposing sides, often on the same day. The Tournament
of Champions includes four preliminary rounds before the four highest-ranking teams are named as semi-finalists. After the preliminary rounds, Campbell Law emerged as one of the top teams with an undefeated record of 4-0.
</span><span style="font-size:15.0pt; font-family:"Garamond",serif"></span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-size:15.0pt; font-family:"Garamond",serif; color:black; background:white"> </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-size:15.0pt; font-family:"Garamond",serif; color:black; background:white">In the first round, Campbell faced Samford University, Cumberland School of Law. After the first round, judges noted
our advocates’ command of the courtroom and mastery of the rules of evidence. The team went on to face teams from Baylor Law School, Wake Forest University School of Law, and Loyola Marymount University School of Law. These universities are well-known as
some of the finest advocacy schools in the country. Our Campbell advocates defeated all of these teams. After advancing to the final four, our advocates presented a strong case in the semi-final round against a tough University of California Berkely School
of Law team. Both teams were polished and talented. Campbell was narrowly defeated by four points on split ballots.</span><span style="font-size:15.0pt; font-family:"Garamond",serif; color:black"> Our team placed in the competition as semi-finalists – a
terrific result. While the team did not advance to the final round, the exemplary performance of Miriam, Mike, Christian, Adia, and Liza earned Campbell Law an invitation to the 2022 Top Gun Mock Trial Competition.
</span><span style="font-size:15.0pt; font-family:"Garamond",serif; color:black">The team was coached by Director of Competitive Advocacy Tatiana Terry and Associate Dean of Academic Affairs Dan Tilly.</span><span style="font-size:15.0pt; font-family:"Garamond",serif; color:black"></span></p>

<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-size:15.0pt; font-family:"Garamond",serif; color:black">Please join me in congratulating these outstanding student advocates for their success, dedication, and hard work in representing Campbell
Law!</span></p>
