Please join the Moot Court Board in congratulating the
Intrastate Mock Trial Team on their superb performance in this past weekend’s
Intrastate Mock Trial Competition. UofL sent two teams to the
competition, including: Joshua Waldrop, Shawn Spalding, Sierra Ashby, Sharon
Wright, Stephanie Carr, Amy Dorsch, and Pete Lay. Although not advancing
to the final rounds, both teams were highly commended by the competition’s
judges for their “exceptional speaking ability,” “preparedness,” and their
mastery of the factual record and the Federal Rules of Evidence.
Additionally, multiple participants from UofL were nominated for best
advocate honors. Coaches Heend Sheth and Thomas Stevens couldn't be
more proud of this year’s team and thank them for honorably representing the
University of Louisville’s Brandeis School of Law.
