Fresno State’s Intercollegiate Mock Trial Program hosted the West coast’s opening round of the national championship March 25-26 where one of two Fresno State teams competing — Team Lannister led by sophomore captains Jackson Hadden and Nour Basharaheel — earned a bid to the national championship next month. Students on 24 teams from 16 schools debated a civil case determined by the American Mock Trial Association in a simulated jury trial. Fresno State’s team is one of the top six that will compete in the national finals April 21 through 23 hosted by the University of California, Los Angeles at the courthouse in downtown Los Angeles.
