NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Students from Loyola University’s College of Law in New Orleans have earned their way into a national trial competition.
Loyola’s Trial Advocacy Team won first place at the recent Quinnipiac University Criminal Justice Trial Advocacy Competition in Connecticut. According to a Loyola news release, the win there results in an automatic invitation to the American Bar Association National Criminal Justice Trial Advocacy Competition in Chicago in March.
Loyola’s team participated in four trials which involved a multiple-count indictment for murder and included numerous evidentiary issues as well as constitutional law questions. Loyola won the final round against Fordham University School of Law.
