Congratulations to the University of Akron School of Law Trial Teams!
Trial team members Dan Bray, Daniel Leister, Anthony Wise and Michelle McBee won the AAJ regional tournament in Delaware this weekend. The team will compete at the AAJ national championship held in Las Vegas on March 24, 2012.
The final round of the AAJ competition featured two Akron teams. The other Akron team advancing to the final round consisted of trial team members Kelsey DiFrancesco, Greg Thompson, Laci Mason, and Joseph Martinez.
Both teams achieved perfect records before advancing to the final round. The teams defeated Yale and Cincinnati in the semifinal rounds.
