Regent University School of Law won the second annual National Pretrial Competition this past weekend. The eight-team competition, which is co-sponsored by Stetson University College of Law's Center for Excellence in Advocacy and the Florida Bar's Young Lawyers Division, is sort of a mix of moot court and mock trial. Teams file briefs on a pre-trial motion and then argue the motion orally at an evidentiary hearing. Chicago-Kent College of Law finished second, Louisiana State University Paul M. Hebert Law Center (last year's champ) took third, and Atlanta's John Marshall Law School came in fourth place.
Regent also won Best Brief, while its own Jerry Harris claimed the Best Final Round Advocate award.
