17th Annual Cornshucker Challenge
December 2-3, 2017

On December 2-3, 2017, University of Iowa Mock Trial hosted the 17th Annual Cornshucker Challenge. This year's Cornshucker Challenge implemented some changes designed to make the tournament a more elite experience -- elite tournament was limited to 16 teams, of which half were competitors at last year's National Championship Tournament (and the other half were ORCS teams). As has been the custom at the Cornshucker, no coaches had to serve as judges. Additionally, this year we provided free lunch to all students (pizza and salad on Saturday; homemade soups -- prepared by head coach Ryan Seelau -- on Sunday). If you are interested in learning more about the tournament or possibly attending next year, please contact Ryan Seelau at: uimt@seelau.letterboxes.org.
