Baylor makes semifinals in National Ethics Trial Competition!


OK, you know the mock trial team I have been coaching with GED3 and Celebrity Luvr? Well, they are in their competition now in Sacramento at the National Ethics Trial Competition. The news is good: They have made the semifinals after winning rounds with Temple, Alabama, and UC-Santa Clara. This morning they face Buffalo in the semis.

Perhaps, because of Baylor's record of success, this seems like no big deal to you. But it is! Consider the following:

-- Temple and Alabama are two of the top programs in the country.
-- None of our advocates have previously competed in mock trial.
-- One of our advocates is a first year student, and another is in his second year.
-- It took a nearly flawless performance to break to the semis from 20 competing schools.

Congratulations, team!

UPDATE:
Lost in the semis. Still, a good run for a great bunch of students. I'm proud of them.

Comments:
Congrats! Best of luck in the semis!

Congrats to all! BLS is proud.

Love,
Matt
 
I'll second that...congrats, guys! That's a strong showing in a very tough competition, and y'all should be proud!
 
Osler, please come to Sacramento with your teams more often, as you are extremely good luck.

2007- Goose stands up Osler for a girl: The beginning of the Reno Amy story
2008- Goose and Reno Amy get engaged. :)
I can't wait to see what kind of magic you have up your sleeve for 2009.
 
TJ, Kaye, and Ed are three of the hardest working and humble people you'll ever meet. BLS has alot to be proud of with these folks.

Just an observation- GED3 would be the scariest zombie in all of Baylor Law. I have a feeling that his undead hunger would emulate his, well, alive hunger and that would be bad news for all of us.
 
Hello. This post is likeable, and your blog is very interesting, congratulations :-). I will add in my blogroll =). If possible gives a last there on my blog, it is about the Celular, I hope you enjoy. The address is http://telefone-celular-brasil.blogspot.com. A hug.

Awesome! You guys rock!

Did GED attack any of your students again?
 
Hey Team,
I wish I could have been there with you pulling you on, but I appreciate the hall pass to see my baby girl off to France. She arrived safely. I'm proud of the team and always knew that each of you got game. Hope to work with you again.
 
Thanks alot, y'all. We appreciate the love. I only wish we could've brought home the championship. Maybe next time.

Thanks, BC. That was really nice of you to say.

thanks y'all.

& BC—let's not forget christie, layne and rachel...without whom we would not have picked up a single ballot.
 
This was a truly excellent team that could have easily taken the entire thing.
