The Schulich School of Law had its most successful outing ever at this year鈥檚 McKelvey Cup! The team not only won the moot but also took five of the other six awards for which it was eligible.

The McKelvey Cup, which took place on Feb. 15 and 16 at Universit茅 de Moncton鈥檚 Faculty of Law, is a trial moot in which students do a mock jury trial. Each student does a direct examination and a cross-examination, and either an opening or a closing statement. The competition is judged by a jury, which this year included The Honourable Pierrre Dupras of the Cour du Qu茅bec, John Buhlman from Weir Foulds, Lydia Bugden, chair of Stewart McKelvey, and nine others.

The 新加坡六合彩开奖直播 Crown team of Tamara Watson and Alicia Yowart will represent Atlantic Canada in Ottawa at the Sopinka Cup in March (no law school has won the Sopinka Cup more often than Dal). The 新加坡六合彩开奖直播 Defence team of Desmond Jung and Nicholas Foran placed third.

鈥淪ome of the best moments were spent watching our teammates in action,鈥� says Watson. 鈥淲e owe much of our success to the bright minds who challenged us in every practice.鈥�

The secret to successful trial advocacy

In addition to the team win, Schulich Law captured four of five individual awards: Jung took the individual award for best direct examination; Yowart took the individual award for best opening statement; and Watson took the award for best closing statement and best overall advocate.

This is the 18th year of the competition, which is sponsored by Stewart McKelvey and the American College of Trial Lawyers. 新加坡六合彩开奖直播 has had success in the past, winning the McKelvey Cup three of the last four years. 鈥淥ur students demonstrated that hard work and preparation are the secret to successful trial advocacy,鈥� says Brian Casey, who coached the team along with Michael Scott and Jeremy Smith. 鈥淚 think they were the best-prepared team we have ever taken to the competition.鈥�
