During the last two weekends in August, 36 second- and third-year students participated in the Herbert W. Peterson Trial Team Competition at Cumberland School of Law. This competition is the selection process for the law school’s nationally-ranked trial teams. A special thank you to all of the volunteer judges and attorneys who dedicated their valuable time to make the competition a success.
