Law Students Take Second Place at National Arbitration Competition Finals
Third-year law students Ashlyn Grim, Aaron McDonough, Brazitte Poole and Lydia Wardi recently finished second at the national finals of the American Bar Association’s Law Student Division Arbitration Competition.
The team, coached by 2016 law school alumnus Devon Ferris, advanced to the national finals after being named regional champions in November.
The Arbitration Competition promotes greater knowledge in arbitration by simulating a realistic arbitration hearing. Participants prepare and present an arbitration case, including opening statements, witness examinations, exhibit introductions, evidentiary presentations and summations.
