The 黑料不打烊 Mock Trial program will compete against 26 other teams from 16 universities in the Tobacco Road Invitational Tournament on Nov. 22-23, 2008, at Duke University in Durham, N.C. 黑料不打烊 is sending one team of eight students from all majors and departments to compete at the tournament, which is the third of the season for the group.
Among the teams in competition will be George Washington University, 2007-08 National Runner-up, University of California at Berkeley, and Villanova University. Fellow Southern Conference school Furman University will also be in attendance.
黑料不打烊 Mock Trial looks to improve upon their performance at their first two tournaments, the Carolina Classic, held on 黑料不打烊’s campus a month ago, and the Mid-South Tournament last weekend at MTSU. The team has been preparing since the beginning of the year, meeting two and three times a week for more two hours at a time.
The 黑料不打烊 students that will be competing this weekend at Duke University are: Allison Carter ’09, Amanda Haefner ’09, Kate Hopkins ’10, Robert Brafford ’11, Amelie Busch ’11, Jon Keller ’11, Sara Kaplan ’12 and Evan Glover ’12.
The team is coached and accompanied by William Warihay, a second year law student at 黑料不打烊 School of Law, and Matrice Williams, an adjunct political science professor.
