                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 7, 2013

  Mr. BEN RAY LUJAN of New Mexico. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to 
congratulate the University of New Mexico Undergraduate Mock Trial 
Teams.
   After competing in Houston and Colorado Springs last year, the 
University of New Mexico Mock Trial Teams competed in a Regional 
Tournament in Dallas this February. At the Regional Tournament, the 
Mock Trial Team competed with fifteen other schools and performed 
exceptionally well.
   I am very proud of both teams from UNM for their remarkable work at 
the Regional Tournament in Dallas. The University of New Mexico Mock 
Trial team is unique in that the student group is self-coached. These 
students exemplify true dedication and hard work, and the high scores 
they received at the Regional Tournament in Dallas is an inspirational 
achievement. I am impressed by their accomplishments and believe they 
are deserving of the praise of their friends, family, and this 
Congress.
   I congratulate these students on their hard work and diligence in 
competition this past season, and further commend them on their success 
at the Regional Tournament.
