Syracuse University College of Law’s Mohammad Amer L’26 is the co-MVP/Best Advocate of the 2025 National Trial League (NTL) competition. The MVP award is given to the student who received the highest number of best advocate votes during the regular season.
The NTL is a competition format that provides multiple chances for students to hone their trial skills in a competitive, fast-paced, online setting throughout the Fall academic semester, creating opportunities for schools to compete outside the traditional weekend tournament structure. NTL features 14 trial teams competing against each other in a season format that resembles a traditional sports league with two conferences made up of seven teams each.
“Through seven rounds of brutal competition from August to November, against some of the best advocacy programs in the country, Mohammad tied for the most best advocate votes,” said Professor Todd Berger, director of Syracuse University College of Law’s Advocacy Program. “Without a doubt, because of the number of rounds, pace, and quality of teams, this competition is one of the hardest in the country. Winning the MVP in that context is truly an impressive accomplishment. Congratulations to Mohammad once again on this important achievement.”
