Each team must also recruit witnesses to provide live testimony. Competition rounds are judged by volunteers from the Houston legal community, who offer feedback at the end of rounds to help competitors improve their skills. Congratulations, Cara! We can't wait to see how God continues to grow and use you in your law career!
