ABA Arbitration finalists announced

Although 14 teams advanced to the national finals of the ABA Arbitration Competition last year, just 12 will make the trip to Orange County, California this coming January. The final 12:

Chreighton University School of Law
Duquense University School of Law
Michigan State University College of Law
Mississippi College School of Law
Northern Kentucky University Salmon P. Chase College of Law (2 teams)
Southwestern Law School
Stetson University College of Law (2 teams)
Texas Tech University School of Law (2 teams)
Villanova University School of Law

It's been interesting to see the results at this competition over the past three years. Only Chreighton, Southwestern, and Villanova are schools that weren't among the national finalists last year. Stetson won the tournament in 2007, while Texas Tech won it in 2008. That, in my mind, shows pretty solid consistency in results. On the other hand, none of the four final teams from last year made it back this year...
