South Texas College of Law Houston has a long reputation as the training ground for the Lone Star State's future litigators and they have the awards to prove it.

STCL Houston racked up its 131st national advocacy championship win earlier this month when a pair of its students won the 11th annual National Latina/o Law Student Association Moot Court Competition at the Cardozo Law School in New York City.

Javier Perez and Erandy Marquez earned the title of “Best Team” and swept every major award at the competition. Perez also claimed the “Best Individual Advocate” award, and the duo earned the “Best Respondent Brief” award.
