“The Texas Young Lawyers’ Association National Trial Competition is one of the premier law school mock trial competitions in the country with the vast majority of law schools competing in their regionals. NTC employs a unique format. It requires trial advocates
to be nimble – developing sound cases, employing the rules of evidence, and being persuasive advocates. NTC adds another unique element. Lawyers only meet their witness just prior to the start of trial,” Campbell Law Associate Dean of Academic Affairs Dan
Tilly, who is the interim Director of Competitive Advocacy, told the teams’ coaches at their welcome meeting on Friday. </p>
<p class="x_ContentPasted0" style="box-sizing:border-box; margin:0px 0px 1.6875rem; color:rgb(55,66,75); font-family:"Chronicle Text G2 A","Chronicle Text G2 B",Georgia,Cambria,"Times New Roman",Times,serif; font-size:18px">
“The goal of the NTC is to provide student advocates with trials and witnesses that resemble what they may experience as new lawyers in trials where depositions for every witness just aren’t feasible,” he said. “We hope to replicate for student advocates a
courtroom environment that is unpredictable and requires both poise, intellect, and persuasive skills.”</p>

In an effort to thank the large number of volunteers needed for the competition, volunteer judges were eligible to receive one hour of CLE credit from the North Carolina Bar for each volunteer hour as a judge for up to 12.5 CLE credits, said Campbell Law’s
Wallace Leadership Fellow Jamie Bellomy.</p>
