Campbell Law Sweeps 38th National Trial Competition for Region V
Campbell Law Students Best 11 Other Law Schools, Will Advance to National Competition in San Antonio, Texas.
Raleigh, NC, February 15, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Campbell Law School (http://law.campbell.edu), has announced that a pair of teams from Campbell Law School swept all ballots in the final round of the 38th National Trial Competition (NTC) for Region V over the weekend, besting competing groups from 11 other law schools throughout the region. Andrew Shores and Melanie Turnbull, as well as Keith Gordon and Leesa Poag, will now advance to represent Campbell Law at the 2013 National Trial Competition, April 3-7, in San Antonio, Texas.
This year’s regional competition involved a criminal murder case in which the defendant offered a plea of insanity. Participating teams prepared for and argued both sides of the case.
Campbell Law served as one of 14 regional host institutions for the competition, orchestrating events at both the law school and the Wake County Courthouse. Under the NTC format, the top two teams from each of the 14 regions advance to the national competition.
Twelve law schools took part in the Region V action, including Atlanta’s John Marshall Law School, Campbell Law, Charlotte School of Law, Duke University, Elon University, Emory University, Mercer University, North Carolina Central University, University of Georgia, University of North Carolina – Chapel Hill, University of South Carolina, and Wake Forest University. Two teams competed from each of the 12 institutions.

We are immensely proud of them, and we look forward to competing in San Antonio.”
