While SHSU’s Moot Court teams were winding up their day in Dallas, a new crew was setting out from SHSU to observe Saturday’s proceedings. The new crew consisted of LEAP Ambassadors and potential members of next year’s Moot Court team: Megan Chapa, Constance Gabel, Karla Rosales, Beatriz Martinez, Jamaus Williams, and Brian Aldaco.
Before arriving at the hotel, they stopped at Afrah’s, a Middle Eastern restaurant. Despite the fact that at least three of the students had never had Middle Eastern food before, they dug in with gusto, trying chicken schwarma, beef kabob, chicken kabob, lamb kabob, hummus, babaganooj, falafel, and tzatziki sauce.
After a long drive and good food, they settled in with the Moot Court teams, learned about the next day’s proceedings, and rested.
