Campbell’s Mock Trial team wins competition

     Campbell University’s undergraduate Mock Trial team took first place at the College of Charleston Mock Trial Tournament recently. Competing against Duke University, the College of Charleston and the University of Georgia, among other colleges, the Campbell team won each of the competition’s four rounds. The teams argued a case in which a child is kidnapped by a friend of the family and later returned.
     “The Mock Trial team gave a fabulous performance,” said Coach Catherine Cowling, a Criminal Justice instructor at Campbell. “They’re a very good group of students who work together very well and are very sportsmanlike.”
     Senior Jason Murphy, of Fuquay-Varina, N.C., also won the “Outstanding Attorney” award for achieving a perfect score. Other team members were Kevin Sheriff, a junior from Salisbury, N.C.; Cristina Segui, a senior from Hope Mills, N.C.; Brittany Garrison, a sophomore from Yadkinville, N.C.; Nancy Brucia, a junior from Matthews, N.C; sophomore Elizabeth Lyerly and Jamilah Giraud, a senior, from Charlotte, N.C.
