Egan Judges Yale Trial Competition

Yale University School of Law, Wall Street, New Haven CT
Firm partner Brian T. Egan, Esq. was invited by the Yale Mock Trial Association to serve as a judge at the 2012 American Mock Trial Association (AMTA) Regional Tournament held on February 11 and February 12 at Yale University, in New Haven, CT. The tournament is a highly competitive event, drawing teams from some of the best schools in the nation, including teams from the Ivy League. The top placing teams will earn bids to compete at the AMTA National Tournaments and, most importantly, the National Championship Tournament. The tournament judges are selected from experienced trial attorneys and sitting judges. This was Egan’s second stint as a judge at the tournament, this time serving as the Presiding Judge in both rounds. “It was an excellent experience to again serve as a judge at Yale, and the caliber of the students’ preparation and trial work was very high” said Egan. Egan is a partner in the law firm of Egan & Golden, LLP, with offices in Patchogue and Wainscott, NY
