Campbell Law Finishes as National Champions at the 2022 Estrella Trial Advocacy Competition (ETAC).

Campbell Law third-year students Carolyn Duhon and Kara Goray, and second-year students Danielle Murphy, Christian Lunghi, and Jernigan Newell competed in the Estrella Trial Advocacy Competition last weekend from April 1-4, 2022. The competition was hosted by the George Washington University Law School in San Juan, Puerto Rico.  This year's competition problem involved a wrongful death and deceptive trade practices case where the plaintiff claimed the defendant-corporation fraudulently advertised a medicinal product that led to the death of a husband and father. Approximately fourteen law school teams from across the nation competed in the tournament. Kara and Christian advocated masterfully as attorneys between multiple rounds, representing the defendant, and Danielle and Carolyn advocated representing the plaintiff. The team was proudly coached by Summer Combs '21 and Daniel Nelson '21.

Our Campbell Law team faced schools from Cardozo School of Law and Brooklyn Law School in the preliminary rounds.  Our students swept their preliminary opponents. After the preliminary rounds, our team advanced to the semifinal round where they bested Louisiana State University Law Center, advancing to the Championship Final Round.

                                        Campbell Law advocates as they prepare for the championship final round.


The final championship round presiding judge was Raul M. Arias-Marxuach, Chief United States District Judge of the United States District Court for the District of Puerto Rico. At the conclusion of the four-hour trial, Campbell Law was named the National Champion after defeating the University of Virginia School of Law. This marks the third time Campbell Law has competed in ETAC, but the first time Campbell Law has won. For the second consecutive week, Campbell Law will bring home national championship hardware!

The team is enormously grateful to their coaches, the Campbell Law Competitive Advocacy Program, Dean Leonard and the support of the faculty/staff who aid in making opportunities like these possible, particularly their ability to travel and compete in person.



Best,

Director Terry
