This law school is to moot court and trial advocacy competitions what UCLA under John Wooden used to be to college basketball.

I have judged a lot of moot court competitions over the years at a number of different law schools and I have noticed that a small, little known law school from Texas always seems to have a team at every tournament I judge and those teams always seem to do very well.

Now it seems that congratulations are in order as South Texas College of Law becomes the first law school in America to notch 100 wins in advocacy competitions.

South Texas' Advocacy Director and Associate Dean, T. Gerald Treece has emerged as the John Wooden of American trial and appellate coaches. Year after year, South Texas just seems to roll over other schools in national competitions. In addition to having Dean Treece, I also understand that a big part of the secret to their success is the commitment of the faculty and a great many alumni who volunteer many hours to coach and judge a great many practice rounds for each of the teams they send to moot court and trial advocacy competitions.

Pretty impressive!
