[Law24] Campbell Law Trial Advocacy Team 2022-23 Tryouts

Wed Aug 3 09:23:41 EDT 2022

Rising 2L & 3L Students,

I email you today regarding two points of special note.

I am delighted to share with you all an opportunity that my classmates and I would have dreamed to have had the chance to participate in. The Campbell Law Competitive Trial Advocacy Team has been selected to be featured in a docu-series to highlight the stellar performance of the program over the past decade and our diligent competitive trial advocacy students for the upcoming academic year. The producers and camera crew will follow select students and trial advocacy teams throughout this academic year. Filming for this illustrious opportunity will begin with trial advocacy team tryouts. This docu-series will be published nationally. For reference purposes, the producers intend to mirror our docu-series after "Boys State" produced by AppleTV+, and/or "CHEER" produced by Netflix. Please feel free to find the official trailers for the aforementioned documentaries via Youtube if you would like to get a better idea of the overall production.

If you would like to be filmed in the documentary during your tryout, please email me and cc (Anjanette Porter) to let us know no later than August 10, 2022, at 2:00pm. If I do not receive an email from you, you will not be filmed for the documentary during your tryout. The consent to be filmed does not guarantee any student a position on the 2022-23 Trial Advocacy Team or placement in the docu-series. Similarly, choosing not to be filmed will not preclude any qualified student from being selected as a member of the 2022-23 Trial Advocacy Team. It is our sincerest hope that the opportunity to be featured in the first docu-series to highlight competitive trial advocacy will be groundbreaking for our university, and most importantly, for the students who will be featured and their future careers.

If you have any additional questions about this, please feel free to email me.

Finally, please allow this email to serve as a final reminder that trial advocacy team tryouts and applications must be selected/completed by August 10, 2022, at 2:00pm.

Please see the email below for complete information regarding tryouts.

Best,
Professor Terry

Subject: Campbell Law Trial Advocacy Team 2022-23 Tryouts

Rising 2L & 3L Students,

Campbell Law School will be competing in a host of mock trial competitions throughout the country this year. Last year, our teams competed in Colorado, Georgia, Texas, and Puerto Rico. This year, our mock trial team is slated to return to a completely in-person competitive season set to compete in Colorado, Florida, California, New York, Puerto Rico, South Carolina, Texas, Washington D.C., and many other destinations. In our 2021-22 competitive advocacy season, our teams won two national championships, one national semifinalist placement, two regional championship finalist placements, and one regional semifinalist placement.  Along the way, our advocates also won individual awards for their stellar courtroom advocacy. While we have enjoyed past success, we are anxious to identify the next group of outstanding trial advocates to continue our winning tradition.

Formal tryouts for the 22-23 Campbell Law Trial Advocacy Team are scheduled for Saturday, August 13th (9:00 am - 12:00 pm; 1:30 pm – 3:30 pm), Sunday, August 14th (1:30 pm – 4:30 pm), and Tuesday, August 16th (5:30 pm – 7:30 pm). Tryouts are open to all 2L and 3L students. Registration is now open using the link and instructions below.

Interested advocates must:
•     Complete the attached 22-23 Trial Advocacy Tryout Application and attach all corresponding documentation in a single PDF to be returned via email to tmterry at campbell.edu and aporter at campbell.edu, no later than August 10, 2022, at 2:00 pm.
•     Prepare a five-minute closing argument from the case NITA Liquor Commission v. Jones, et al.  I have attached a copy of the case file for your convenience. You may choose to represent either side of the case. Both have equally strong arguments. Again, you sign-up to perform your prepared closing argument using the link above.

All students interested in participating in trial advocacy competitions must tryout irrespective of prior advocacy experience. Former participants are not guaranteed a position on the team nor an assignment to any particular competition.

We recognize that all of the 2L class, and many from the 3L class, have not had Trial Advocacy and most likely have no formal training in preparing or delivering a closing argument.  Do not let this dissuade you from participating in tryouts.  Other than being in your 2L or 3L year, there are no prerequisites for participating on the Campbell Law Trial Advocacy Team.  In fact, most of the participants chosen in the past have had no experience whatsoever.  We evaluate candidates based on several factors in determining who may be the most capable, dedicated advocates - so just focus on presenting your best five-minute closing argument.

We are interested in advocates who strongly desire to participate in courtroom trial competitions and are prepared to do the work necessary to be successful.  Our team's success is a product of hard work and talent.  Neither alone is sufficient.  I am immensely proud of our past accomplishments; I’m equally excited about our future.

If you have any questions, please direct them to myself or Anjanette Porter (cc’d above). I hope you all are having a terrific summer, both personally and professionally, and I look forward to seeing you all in a few weeks.

Kindly,

Professor Terry
