The Alabama Law team of Caitlyn Prichard (’16), Logan Matthews (’16), and Grant Luiken (’16) competed in the national finals of the ABA National Appellate Advocacy Competition. Two hundred teams compete in regional tournaments around the country, and only the top twenty-four advance to the national finals.
The Alabama team’s brief won fourth place in the nation and the team advanced to the round of the final eight. There, the team lost on a tie-breaker and did not advance further. The top four brief and top eight finish were both the best an Alabama team has ever achieved in this premier national competition.
Professor Carol Andrews coached the team.
