Trial Team Members Rachel Holt, Kelsey Ashworth, Jill Schroeder and Katrina Mavroudis were named champions at the American Associations for Justice Student Student Trial Advocacy Competition in the Philadelphia Region.

Defeating 15 other teams who competed in the extremely competitive Philadelphia contest, the students advance to the national competition, which will be held in New Orleans in early April.

The win continues a strong season for members of the Trial Team, which also won a regional championship in the Texas Young Lawyers Association Mock Trial Competition.
