RALEIGH, N.C. – Campbell Law Dean J. Rich Leonard announced today that Hardison & Cochran Attorneys at Law will provide financial support to sponsor a competitive mock trial team. The firm’s gift will pave the way for a group of students to compete at the National Student Trial Advocacy Competition (NSTAC) of the American Association for Justice (AAJ). Two teams from Campbell Law will compete in the Raleigh region, March 10-13, with the national finals slated for March 31-April 3 in New Orleans, La.
“We are grateful to Hardison & Cochran for this act of generosity,” said Leonard. “This gift ensures that our students will experience a first-rate opportunity to carry on learning outside of the classroom while representing Campbell Law.”
The AAJ seeks to inspire excellence in trial advocacy through training and education for both law students and practicing attorneys. The association accomplishes this goal in part by sponsoring the NSTAC, an annual nationwide mock trial competition for all law schools across the country. The competition allows law students to develop and practice their trial advocacy skills before distinguished members of the bar and bench.
Hardison & Cochran is a personal injury, workers’ compensation and Social Security Disability firm serving the whole state of North Carolina with offices located in Raleigh, Durham, Greensboro, Wilmington, Fayetteville, Dunn, and Southern Pines. The firm’s managing partner, Benjamin T. Cochran, is a 2002 Campbell Law graduate.
