This morning, after nearly four months of preparation, we dropped off a rookie defense attorney.
This afternoon we came home with a defense attorney named Outstanding Attorney of his very first competitive round. He actually got higher scores (3 judge panel) in Round 2 but an opposing (faux) lawyer had an even higher mark.
Most importantly, team finished 3rd overall to survive & advance into the District round three weeks from today. They'll open against the #2 seed from another region head-to-head in knockout play (6 team bracket) with one team eventually advancing to the state competition in March.
