Brianna Barnett and Christian M. Sullivan finished as semifinalists. Lewis was named the best oralist of the competition.
The teams were coached by third-year students Destiny J. Burch, Alexandria H. "Alex" Clark and Cole M. Harper, under the guidance of 2021 School of Law alumna Amelia Welch Ortiz.
