1985 Mock Trial
Competition
The I,egal Association
competed in the p liminary
round in Norman, Oklahoma. at
the Cleveland County Court-
house. PTLA went up against
teams from Piedmont and
Clinton.
The case for this year dealt
with the contested probate of a
will with each team presenting
both the defendant and plaintiff
sides of the cast
The I,egal Association out-
scored both opponents in per-
formance points, but failed to
win the case decision points in
both instances, leading to a
fourth place finish and conse
quent elimination from the
tournament.
Members cited for outstand-
ing competition were Scott
Briggs, qbdd Higgins, Rex
Branstetter, Denise ttancock,
and Autumn Baker. Other team
members were Suzann Case ,
Wendell Hawxby, Alan tlawxby.
Greg Wolfe. Jody Pate, Tins
Coppick, Chrissy tlarris, and
'l-( rry Stafford.
Mr. Dotson had the following
comments concerning the com-
petition: '"]'he team overall gave
an excellent presentation I am
very pleased with the members'
efforts in preparing for the com-
petition. It was a difficult case
and I nmst commend them for
their perspicacity and resilience
during the trial. It is disappoin-
ting to out-perform your op~
ponents and not gain the deci-
sion. but dealing with subjec-
tivity in decision-making is part
of the legal process. I wish to
thank the members' parents
and the cooperation of Robert
Murphy, Jr., for his legal
assis tallcc'~"
