I saw that UVA was on the list that's on the website. Are they no longer going?

I would already like to thank the Pittsburgh Mock Trial Program for scheduling round one of trials at a healthily-late 12:00 noon on Saturday.  :inlove:

What I know:

1) NYU 7-1, CS 18.5
2) Michigan 7-1 CS 16.5
3) Eastern Michigan 7-1 CS??

I could be wrong about the first two CS, but they're in that neighborhood.

On behalf of the NYU program, I want to thank our friends at Pitt for hosting a great tournament. Phil, Patrick and Jen--you guys are incredible hosts. Thanks for everything!

I also want to thank Bowling Green, Miami, Georgetown and Carnegie Mellon for four excellent rounds. Congrats to everyone who won an award, with a particular shout-out to Lazarus from Miami (20 and 19 ranks).
