Posted By: Stacie Coulter on May 04, 2011

By Kristen Briscoe:

Howard University's Mock Trial team will be advancing to the Championship Round of Nationals after both squads competed in the opening rounds this past weekend.

After being the first Historically Black College to ever win a Mock Trial competition on the national level, Howard University's Mock Trial team broke another record, by becoming the only HBCU to win two bids, or spots, to the opening round of Nationals.

Three of the Mock Trial's team members also won individual awards. Daniel Cokes and Shakei Haynes won awards for Outstanding Witness and Yosef Wise won the award for Outstanding Attorney.
