 The West Coast Rounds were held Saturday, February 25, 2006, at the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco; both Santa Clara teams competed well, each facing two teams from among the field of 20 from various West Coast law schools. The team members were coached by Adjunct Faculty members Colby Springer and Karin Carter, both of whom are also local practicing attorneys. The teams were accompanied to the West Coast Rounds by Ms. Carter. Congratulations to both Santa Clara teams for a job well done!!
