Washburn University represented two of 18 teams, which competed in the Hurricane Invitational Mock Trial tournament recently at the University of Miami.
The mock trial junior varsity team, competing in their second tournament to date, had a 3-2-1 record. The junior varsity team was compromised of Nick Campbell, Newton; Brooke Graves, Ellis; Marci Hartwig, Yates Center; Brittany James, Topeka; Amy Molina, Arlington, Texas; and Anthony Velasquez, Salina. Campbell also received an individual award for Outstanding Attorney.
The undergraduate mock trial program consists of member schools throughout the country being assigned a case in September. Teams of six to eight students will work on this case, developing theories for both plaintiff and defense and prepare to try the case at the various competitions throughout the fall and spring semesters.
