Held in the Stephen D. Heninger Moot Court Room at the downtown Birmingham office, the original field of competitors was narrowed down to a top six who paired off in the final rounds last week. The jury was comprised of HGD attorneys and staff, and HGD attorneys Drew Haskins and Chris Hood presided over the competition as the judge.
