Coaches
Andy McNeil, Esq.
Contact |
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.
