Jessica Copenhaver Contact |
I’m a third-year studying Public Policy from Lake Jackson, Texas. In my free time I enjoy being active, whether that be biking, hiking, or doing yoga. When I’m not free, I stress-bake cupcakes as the master form of procrastination, so expect a fresh batch before every tournament.

Hi, my name is Hillary Dong, and I’m a first year Public Policy major from the Carpet Capital of the World. In my free time, I enjoy writing poetry, going to concerts and music festivals, and eating tacos and tiramisu. I talk too much about how I used to volunteer at an aquarium and also probably in general. I’ve never done mock trial before, so I’m excited to see what this year brings!

I had the privilege of graduating from the Georgia Institute of Technology in 2001, after which I graduated from Syracuse University College of Law in 2005. I coached several high school mock trial teams in upstate New York and the metro Atlanta area before coming on board to coach the Georgia Tech mock trial team in 2007. In between my fulfilling and enjoying time with mock trial at my undergraduate alma mater (hopefully mutual for all parties involved), I previously practiced law with King & Spalding and Morris and Manning & Martin LLP, and I currently sit on the Board of Directors with several meaningful non-profit organizations.

I am a practicing litigation attorney with Hasner Law in Atlanta, where I specialize in representing injured workers in Georgia. I attended Elon University and Elon University School of Law. During my time at Elon, I founded and competed for Elon's mock trial team. I continued to coach Elon during law school, and I worked as an Adjunct Professor for Elon University for two years after graduating from law school. I am also a Director on the Board for the American Mock Trial Association, where I have served as the Chair of the Tournament Administration Committee. I am also a member of the Executive Committee for AMTA, and I am serving as President of AMTA from 2018 through 2020. I was lucky enough to come on as a coach with Georgia Tech in 2014, and I look forward to coaching Georgia Tech for many years to come!
