Haub Law Advocacy Team Advances to Semifinals in All Star Bracket Competition
After successfully finishing in the top four in the regional competition, the Haub Law Advocacy Team advanced to the Semi Final Round in the All Star Bracket Competition last week which featured 64 of the top trial programs in the Country. They joined semifinalists from Temple, UCLA and Faulkner and showed off their hard work and skills at the virtual competition.
“The skill, work ethic and tenacity displayed by the team and coaches is a tribute to the entire advocacy program. They competed at the highest level and impressed judges and competitors throughout their run. I am very proud of what they have accomplished,” said Program Director Louis V. Fasulo.
The team was comprised of Mattison Stewart (3L), Regina Rubino (3L), Michael McNally (2L), Kathryn Facelle (2L), and Angelo Spedafino (3L) (Trial Technician), and led by their fantastic coaches and alumni AJ Muller, Esq. and Michael Luterzo, Esq. Beginning in October, the team competed in four rounds and placed within the top four out of 16 teams in the region, affording them the opportunity to compete in the National Sweet 16. During the Regional competition, Mattison Stewart received a Best Advocate Award. The team continued to practice, refine their skills, and scrimmage after Regionals for an entire month leading up to Nationals. Their hard work paid off when they advanced through the Sweet 16 and quarterfinal rounds, finishing as a Semi-Finalist and ranking among the top four teams in the nation.
