Â鶹ÊÓƵ

For the first time in its eight year history, Â鶹ÊÓƵ is sending three teams to an invitational tournament. The tournament, at 66 teams, is the largest tournament in the country for 2010-2011. The Â鶹ÊÓƵ team members in attendance represent students from all majors and departments.

This will be the third tournament of the season for the team. Â鶹ÊÓƵ Mock Trial recently competed at an invitational tournament at Brandeis University in Waltham, Mass. At Brandeis, Â鶹ÊÓƵ competed against teams from Boston University and Brown University, among others.

In October, Â鶹ÊÓƵ Mock Trial hosted its own tournament on Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s campus. Â鶹ÊÓƵ placed 10th in that tournament out of 26 teams and looks to achieve another Top Ten finish this weekend.

Among the teams in competition will be Rhodes College, The College of William & Mary, Vanderbilt University, the University of Georgia, the University of North Carolina, and the University of Tennessee.
