Law Students at Ohio Northern Gain Hands-On Experience Before Classes Begin

Ohio Northern University Law is back in session, and the Mock Trial Team is already ahead of the game.

Before classes began, students participated in the annual four-day Evidence Boot Camp, where returning team members mentored new advocates on direct and cross-examinations, opening and closing arguments and courtroom strategy.

Third-year student Emma Ray says the training bridges the gap between classroom learning and real courtroom experience.

Advocacy Director and Law Professor Donald Anderson expects a standout season.

Award winners include:

Best Advocates – Hailey Allmen, Jerrell Walker & Jasmeet Kang

Most Professional – Dane Duffy & Courtney Picklesimer

Most Improved – Jeremy Stewart
