The American Bar Association’s National Appellate Advocacy Competition would usually take place in courtrooms around the country. However, due to the coronavirus pandemic, participants competed from home.
For Charlene Smith, this meant competing from her living room, where she had to tell her husband to leave because audience members weren’t allowed to be present while competing. According to Smith, the experience was “definitely different” than it would have been in person.

“I had such an amazing experience competing in the National Trial Competition. I couldn’t have asked for a better group to spend months preparing with than Sara, Conner, Jessie, and our coach Robert Little. I feel honored to have been able to compete alongside Sara, and I am so proud of what we were able to accomplish and thankful for the friendship we formed along the way.
