Redington Pirate on Winning Team..!

This family was thrilled to learn yesterday that the Stetson Law School’s Trial Team had placed first in a National Contest sponsored by the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers held in Santa Fe, New Mexico November 3,4, and 5.
Our family member known in this blog as the “Redington Pirate” participated in various roles throughout the competition. The trial team was 5 and 0, undefeated in the contest which included teams representing law schools such as Georgetown, University of Florida, Alabama, Illinois, Fordham, Michigan State, and Loyola of Chicago. The “Pirate” is pictured below holding the first place plaque. His teammates in the front row of the picture left to right are Samuel Denny, Reneka Redmond, and Patricia Calhoun.
Patricia Calhoun was named the Cathy E. Bennett Best Overall Advocate in the competition. Calhoun and Stetson Law will be added to the NACDL trophy board in Washington, DC.
Competing teams argued a hypothetical death penalty case. Stetson was awarded $ 3,000 in scholarship money for its first place finish.
By winning Stetson earned an automatic invitation to the contest next year.

Congratulations Pirate...and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
