MSU Law Mock Trial Team Advances to Semi-Finals, Named Most Professional Team
The Michigan State University College of Law Mock Trial Team advanced to the semi-finals of the William W. Daniel Mock Trial Competition, which took place November 20-22 in Atlanta, Georgia. The team was recognized for their preparation and skill with the Most Professional Team award.
The team of third-year students Devon Schulz (3L), Philip Kunka (3L), Loic Mengou Dimithe (3L), and Colin Gerish (2L), advanced through three preliminary rounds before competing in the semi-final round where they argued against the team from the St. Mary’s School of Law, who went on to win the competition. Chris Iannuzzi, a 2010 MSU Law alum and current associate at Governmental Consultant Services, Inc., helped lead the team to success.
Eighteen law school teams from across the nation competed in the prestigious competition, including John Marshall Law School, George Washington Law School, and the University of Houston Law Center.
The invitational competition, named in honor of a noted Georgia judge, was hosted by the Young Lawyers Division of the State Bar of Georgia.
