UCLA School of Law's Cappello Trial Team finished 2019 with two more outstanding results in November, reaching the finals in nine of its last 13 competitions.
Recent UCLA School of Law graduate Deeksha Kohli ’20 reached the semifinals and finished in third place in the Top Gun National Trial Competition, perhaps the most difficult trial competition in the United States.
Alumni and friends raised $181.2 million for UCLA School of Law during the Centennial Campaign for UCLA, far exceeding the school's goal during the campus-wide fundraising drive that was designed to prepare the university for its second century of excellence.
Marking the 100th anniversary of the founding of UCLA, the Centennial Campaign raised $5.49 billion.
The UCLA Law Trial Team is headed to the National Trial Competition.
Amid in-person school closures and global travel restrictions, UCLA School of Law has created online trial competitions for the nearly 10,000 law students and undergraduates whose competitions were cancelled as the world grapples with the COVID-19 crisis.
Students in UCLA School of Law’s A. Barry Cappello Program in Trial Advocacy earned high honors in the first-ever National Online Trial Advocacy Competition, which took place between March 15 and April 17.
Co-hosted by Fordham University School of Law and UCLA Law, the tournament included 170 student participants from 67 law schools. Six UCLA Law students placed in the top 10%, and no other law school had more than one student rank as high.
The A. Barry Cappello Program in Trial Advocacy provides an extensive education in the strategies and techniques required to be a successful litigator. Through an array of courses, competitions and clinical opportunities, students learn how to prepare for and conduct jury selection, opening statements, direct and cross examinations and closing arguments, as well as how to make and respond to evidentiary objections.
