MSU?Law team makes it to semi-finals at mock trial competition
The Michigan State University College of Law Mock Trial Team was a semi-finalist at the William W. Daniel Mock Trial Competition, which took place Nov. 17-19 in Atlanta, Georgia.
The team of third-year students Christine Pattison, Chase Parker, Ryan Coy, and Andrew Stryffeler, advanced through three preliminary rounds before competing in the semi-final round where they argued against the team from Georgia State University School of Law, who went on to win competition.
Eighteen law school teams from across the nation competed in the prestigious competition. Michigan State, Maryland, South Carolina and Georgia State advanced to the semi-final rounds. The invitational competition, named in honor of a noted Georgia judge, was hosted by the Young Lawyers Division of the State Bar of Georgia. Chris Iannuzzi, ’10 helped lead the team to success.
