The Trial Advocacy Board (TAB) at Charleston School of Law will compete at South Texas Mock Trial Challenge in Houston in March.

The Charleston Law team including Tiffany Izer, David Estes, Emily Ledford and Rion Murrah is coached by Professor Debra Gammons.

“Law students learn evidence and how to take charge of the courtroom,” said Gammons. “They learn how do deal with the unexpected in the middle of a trial. They learn to advocate like a real attorney.  They finish competitions with a self-confidence that is built upon work and experience.

“Judges and attorneys are looking and expecting students who passed the Bar to have some trial experience. Having this trial experience is a huge advantage when searching for an attorney’s position.”

The mission of the Charleston School of Law Trial Advocacy Board is to prepare students to become ethical, experienced, and zealous lawyer-advocates.

Participation is founded upon a student’s commitment to the pursuit of excellence in advocacy and to ethically represent the Charleston School of Law through dedication and compliance with each team’s rigorous and demanding practice schedule, when representing the Charleston School of Law in trial advocacy competitions throughout the nation.
