Approximately 80 of the "brightest and best" law students from at least 10 law schools from Texas and Louisiana were represented in the competition. Gerald R. Powell, the Professor of Evidence at Baylor coordinated the competition.

"This is the most prestigious of the big mock trial competitions," Powell said. "It is sponsored by the American College of Trial Lawyers and the Texas Young Lawyers Association and attracts some of the brightest and best law students. We are excited about hosting the regional tournament, and the opportunity to showcase our magnificent facilities."

The law students' performances were judged by accomplished practicing trial lawyers or sitting judges from around Texas selected and invited by Baylor.

Adams (an August 1975 honors graduate of Baylor) is Board Certified in Civil Trial Law and practices in Dallas. Steinke (a November 1975 graduate of Baylor) is the former Chief of the Specialized Crime Division of the Dallas District Attorney's Office and specializes in criminal law in Dallas.

Adams and Steinke were greeted by their former Practice Court Professor, R. Matt Dawson, who taught the renowned Practice Court class at Baylor for decades. Dawson is a 1938 graduate of the Baylor Law School.
