This week on Unscripted Direct:
- We spotlight three competitions: Golden Gate's In Vino Veritas, Quinnipiac's ABA criminal competition, and Davis's MLK Civil Rights tournament.
- We share who made The Break at the Best in Texas mock trial competition
- We discuss the live v. virtual poll results from Professor Epstein
- Justin gets a cheering section for Question of the Week, but is it enough?
- (No, of course not.)
- And our main guest: St. Mary's A.J. Bellido de Luna! A.J. talks about how growing up poor affects his work as an advocacy teacher, what he learned from his service as a Marine and police officer, what he plans to accomplish as the next president of NALAE, how he's helped his school climb the national rankings, and his favorites among the finer things: steak, hotels, cocktails, and clothes.
