Duquesne Law wins Regional National Trial Competition
Congratulations to our second year team, Keaton Carr, Cassidy Neal and David Renner, who defeated Villanova in the final round of the Regional Competition in Philadelphia, February 5—7, to advance to the National Championship in Dallas, to be held March 24-27. Keaton Carr was named Best Advocate of the Tournament.
This is the first time Duquesne has won this tournament, hosted every year by Temple Law School. The entire Duquesne Team included Amanda Sorrell, Josh Lamm, Casey Mullen, Curt Schaffner and Derek Jones. The team is coached by Professor Bruce Antkowiak, Michelle Mantine L'06, and Kelli Giles (3D). The Trial Advocacy program is under the direction of Professors Michael Streib and Amelia Joiner.
Mock Crime Scene in DCLI
The Institute of Forensic Science & Law is conducting its annual crime scene investigation on the Ground Floor of DCLI from February 19-27. The Center wants to assure users that the display is for educational purposes only, and not a real crime scene! DCLI requests your cooperation in not disturbing the mock crime scene.
