Great job to the UW Mock Trial Team, whose steady diet of hard work and competitive zeal has paid off in unprecedented success! This year the team competed in a wider variety of competitions and received more awards than ever before. This spring, not one but two UW teams advanced to semi-final rounds. Congratulations to the TYLA semi-final team: Chiji Offor, Dan Sperling, and Jonathan Parker; and the AAJ semi-final team: Andrew Rima, Connor Sabatino, John Gentry and Maggie Hogan. The fall teams also deserve praise for setting the stage for this stunning spring. The fall teams competed in the Niagara competition in Buffalo as well as the prestigious National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (NACDL) competition in Key West, where our team placed Fifth among all invitees and 3L Scott Jess received an award for best closing argument. Thank you to everyone who supported the Team this year - especially our coaches. We look forward to further success next year!
