We are so proud of the sustained committment of these young Campbellians. This type of legal experience is immersive and exciting, bringing together critical thinking, questioning techniques and performance skills. A fantastic achievement for a team made up entirely of novices. Thanks to Mrs Hempstead for guiding them through the competition.
