Campbell Law advocates appear in annual Tulane International Baseball Arbitration Competition

Campbell Law School’s award-winning Advocacy Program kicked off its spring competition season on Jan. 19, 2022, appearing at the Tulane International Baseball Arbitration Competition (TIBAC) for the second year in a row.

The students and their coaches competed virtually as the university was still under remote instruction protocols.

The Tulane International Baseball Arbitration Competition, run by the Tulane Sports Law Society, is a simulated salary arbitration competition modeled closely on the procedures used by Major League Baseball (MLB). The competition is unique in that it allows law students to sharpen skills within the specialized context of MLB’s salary arbitration proceedings.

Third-year law students Charles (Tyler) Ellenberg and Rebeka Parent and second-year law student Clare Leathersich represented Campbell Law in the competition. The team was coached by Campbell Law alumnus Landis Barber ‘19 and Professor Anthony Ghiotto.

Ellenberg said of his experience, “I appreciate the school putting this team together and I am so grateful for Professor Ghiotto and Landis … I can honestly say this experience was one of my best in law school and I’m really glad that the university made it possible for me to compete.”
