Some great news to start off Spring Break:
As you know, our FCSL BLSA Mock Trial Team won 2nd place in the
National BLSA Thurgood Marshall Mock Trial Competition this weekend in Boston, Massachussetts at the 42nd annual NBLSA National Convention.
Adrianne Irish won the "Best Advocate" Award.
Congratulations to Adrianne Irish, Jaimee McDowell, Ruby Green and Clarence Sydnor for a great performance by all, and a special thank you to their great and dedicated coach, Professor Lois Ragsdale. This is quite an accomplishment for Florida Coastal School of Law, as this team beat one Harvard team (twice) on their way to the finals where they took second place to the second Harvard team.
Also, NBLSA hands out over $10,000 in scholarships every year, and this year 3 of our students won a scholarship:
Stephanie Idio was awarded the Nelson Mandela Scholarship (worth $500)
Rashida Coulhurst was awarded the Nelson Mandela and Sandy Brown Scholarships (each worth $500)
Julia Latimer was awarded the Rodney Pulliam Memorial Scholarship (worth $500)
Furthermore, our school was specially recognized for our contribution to
NBLSA's Letter Writing Campaign.
Join me in a round of Congratulations to everyone and have a safe and sunny Spring Break!!
