Osler's Razor

Yesterday, Baylor Law won the NTC, a mock trial competition which includes the majority of American law schools. The winning team was Joel Bailey, Eric Policastro, and Crystal Y'Barbo. Apparently, the field was softened up by the efforts of the other Baylor team, Tim Goines and Kendall Cockrell. Whooo! This is a really big win, and I'm so proud of these guys. Though we have won the other major trial competition (the ATLA/AAJ) a few times recently, this is our first win in the NTC since 1980. The amount of work these students put in is simply amazing, and sometimes it all pays off.

It seems that our recent success rate relates to Kathy Serr's coordination of our teams and she deserves some props, too, as does coach Jerry Powell.

I'm sure much of the credit, though, has to go to coach Robert R. Little's motivational techniques (pictured).
