James Cline, Nickerson law student and a member of the team, said his team finished third overall because it had fewer speaker points than the South Texas team and was unable to enter the final round.

KU faculty and employees from the Lawrence Journal-World and the Kansas City Star and Times helped judge the contest, Engel said. If a student places in the top three in a division, he is eligible to go to the state contest on April 22. KU plays host to this contest also.
