“I am extremely proud of our law students and particularly pleased about their victory in the midst of the media and entertainment capital of the world,” said Mathew Staver, dean of Liberty University School of Law. “When our students succeed, the law school succeeds.”
The competition provided the opportunity for law students from around the country to develop negotiation skills, gain competitive experience and build team dynamics — all important components for aspiring lawyers.
Dotti Nijakowski, director of Student Affairs for Liberty University School of Law, accompanied the team. “Hannah Reichel and Karlee Shelton were so impressive to watch that one could hear audible gasps throughout the crowd,” she said.
