Two Regent University law teams placed in a national competition held in New Orleans this past weekend.

The teams finished second and fifth in the nation at the American Bar Association National Negotiation Competition.

The University of Minnesota won the competition.

Hannah Carter and Chris Bell were the number two team, while Shiann Ashenbrenner and Braden Morgan finished fifth.

The teams were coached by Regent law professor Eric DeGroff.

Regent president Carlos Campo praised the students.

“These outstanding results are another confirmation of the rigorous training future lawyers receive in Regent's School of Law,” Campo said. “My congratulations to the students and their professors for their diligence and commitment to excellence.”

During the competition, students act as lawyers and simulate a series of legal issues.
