Regional Championship of the National Trial Competition at the
Criminal Justice Center in Philadelphia. It was Temple’s 25th
regional championship in 27 years of competition. The members of
the championship team are Caroline Power (2L) and James Price (3L).
Third Circuit Chief Judge Theodore A. McKee presided at the final

Theveny (3L) and Britt Walden (2L) dropped a highly competitive
semi-final contest on a split ballot.

Twenty-two teams from eleven law schools representing
Delaware, New Jersey and Pennsylvania competed. The Team travels to
Texas on April 3 to compete for the National Trial Championship
against the twenty-four winners and runners-up from the twelve
other regional contests. The teams are coached by Professor Jen
