The competition, which had 13 teams, each team made against opposing counsel and before two judges, was a very valuable opportunity to sharpen both their written and oral advocacy skills according to Victoria Gichuki who teaches law at Brookhouse Schools.“They were elated and extremely proud of their achievement when they received the news of their win during the prize-giving ceremony. We applaud our students for a job well done and look forward to the next competition,” Gichuki stated.
