As the world of law school academia nears the end of the Fall ’22 season, Thurgood Law students continue to soar with unceasing success! This month, third-year law students, Chandra Dade, Rachel Fayas, Alexander Hu, Daniel Franco, and Justin Hardin participated in the Regional ABA Arbitration Competition on the campus of South Texas College of Law-Houston and walked away with a second-place finish! The second-place finish could not have been possible without the coaching support, mentorship and guidance from Tim Adams, Esq. ’17 and Amber Simpson, Esq. ’20 (Thurgood Law Team Coaches) and Miriah Soliz, Esq. ’18 (Thurgood Law Team Sponsor).
Per Tim Adams, Esq. ‘17 (Thurgood Law Mock Trial Director and Team Coach), “Our students received well-deserved praise from the judges and their opponents for their near undefeated performance. The feat is especially admirable given that Thurgood Law competed against schools with arbitration clinics and course offerings, whereas we learned on-the-fly in the six weeks leading up to the competition. To my knowledge, this was also our school’s first time participating in an arbitration competition.”
Simply winning with first-time, out-the-gate arbitration success!
