National Trial Competition Finish Caps Notable Year for Advocacy Programs
Competing in the National Trial Competition final rounds, the Rutgers School of Law–Newark team left San Antonio with National Quarterfinalist honors. Placing fifth overall out of the 28 best mock trial teams in the country – in a competition that began with 320 law school teams vying to advance in regional tournaments – was very gratifying for Kory Ramkawsky (left) and Amanda Ribustello. Two months earlier, Ramkawsky and Ribustello, along with Class of 2013 classmate David Baumwoll, had a historic win in the regional round, becoming the first New Jersey law school ever to advance to the national finals. The increasing excellence of the school’s advocacy program and the dedication of faculty, administrator and alumni coaches were evident in several other regional, national and international moot court competitions this year.
