Campbell Law Selected to Participate in Prestigious National Civil Trial Competition (NCTC)
Competition to Feature 16 of America’s Best Advocacy Programs Among Institutes of Higher Learning
Raleigh, NC, July 12, 2014 --(PR.com)-- Campbell Law School has been invited to participate in one of the nation’s top advocacy competitions, the National Civil Trial Competition (NCTC), in Los Angeles from Friday, Nov. 14 through Sunday, Nov. 16. Hosted by Loyola Law School, the NCTC will feature 16 of the best advocacy programs in the country in a mock trial tournament.
Campbell Law has competed in the NCTC twice previously, reaching the semifinals both times. The school was chosen this year from a field of 55 institutions that applied to take part in the competition. Participating institutions are selected based upon their past success in regional and national mock trial tournaments, commitment to advocacy training, and geographic diversity.
The NCTC aims to provide student litigants with an opportunity to develop and display the skills of a successful civil litigator. Students are required to perform opening statements, direct- and cross-examination of expert and lay witnesses, closing arguments, and argue objections based on the Federal Rules of Evidence.
The prestigious invitation is the second national competition for the law school in as many months. In late June, Campbell Law accepted a spot at the highly acclaimed National Institute of Trial Advocacy’s Tournament of Championships mock trial competition for the upcoming academic year.
Quotes:
