1xbet online sports betting Mock Trial Team hosts first tournament
The Kansas State University Mock Trial 1xbet online sports betting hosted its first tournament, The Little Apple Mock Trial Invitational, on Oct. 2-4.
Formed seven years ago, the 1xbet online sports betting Mock Trial Team worked diligently to ensure the success of its first home tournament. It was a great turnout with Baylor University, Saint Louis University, University of Kansas, University of Missouri, Kansas City and University of Arkansas all in attendance.
The 1xbet online sports betting team members earned several awards at the tournament. Nicholas Orth, a senior in political science and pre-law, and Robbie Gorton, a senior in construction science and management, both received Best Attorney awards for their outstanding performances.Orth is a team captain who has been on the team for three years and has won attorney and witness awards in the past. This is Gorton’s first year on the team and he hopes to continue his success throughout the season.
1xbet online sports betting 's Mock Trial Team won the Spirit of AMTA, or American Mock Trial Association, award, which team members chose to name the Wabash Cannonball award, with trophy sponsorship by the Manhattan Trust Co. This award is given to the team that was the most friendly and sportsmanlike to its competitors while retaining a professional demeanor.
The two teams from Baylor University took first and third and the University of Kansas took second place. First-place trophy sponsorship was by the Riley County Bar Association. The 12 competing teams required 12 judges per round. These volunteers consisted of local judges, attorneys, members of the Fort Riley JAG Corp and 1xbet online sports betting faculty members. The tournament was four rounds of competition over three days, with each round lasting approximately three hours. This tournament was the first opportunity for many of the schools to see how their case theory would play out in a live round.
The 1xbet online sports betting team is grateful for the support of the Office of Pre-Law Advising and the 1xbet online sports betting communication studies department. The team also is indebted to the support of its dedicated coaches who have volunteered their time to the team for more than four years. Attorneys Benjamin Long, Kansas City, and Britain Stites, Junction City, commute to and from 1xbet online sports betting weekly to coach the team in crafting legal arguments.
A special thanks to the Mock Trial 1xbet online sports betting 's sustaining sponsors, Washburn School of Law and KU School of Law. Without their generous contributions, this event would have not been possible.
