Dear Colleagues,
Pace Law School is hosting a 4-team round-robin jury trial competition on the weekend of February 6-8. As is customary in these competitions, the case file will be released three weeks prior to the competition.
Pace is looking for two more teams to participate in the competition. So far, Pace and SIU have committed to the competition. If you are interested, please email Lou Fasulo at lfasulo@law.pace.edu and/or me at cbehan@siu.edu.
I've had my teams participate in several of these throughout the last few years, and I can promise you your students will have a wonderful experience that more closely replicates an actual jury trial than most of the traditional 16-24 team competitions.
Have a great Thanksgiving.
Chris Behan
In an adversarial legal system the quality of advocacy directly affects the outcome, and hence justice. This blog is for everyone -however they serve our legal system - who is committed to improving the teaching of advocacy skills and ethics so that parties and the community are well served by persuasive and ethical advocates.
OUR FOCUS TOPIC-
If there's an advocacy topic you want to see discussed, or about which you wish to contribute, contact one of the blog administrators - see the list on the right side of this page. Lonely thinking changes nothing, sharing your thoughts may start a trend.
