Adjunct Professor Katelyn Johnston teaches Trial Advocacy and is the Trial Team coach at #JULaw. When asked about her experience as a trial team member in law school, and the importance of trial advocacy, she said, "Trial team will teach you to think on your feet, cite the rules of evidence in your sleep, and build juror rapport with your presence. Trial team taught me to be brave and adventurous in my advocacy because I already had a solid foundation from law school." She joined the Office of General Counsel in 2024 after serving for over ten years with the State Attorney's Office for the Fourth Judicial District. Professor Johnston graduated from the University of South Carolina with a Bachelor of Arts in English and Religious Studies. She obtained her Juris Doctor from Stetson University College of Law and recently graduated from Florida State University with a master's in public administration.

A huge THANK YOU to Morgan & Morgan, P.A., who will be sponsoring our Trial Team! We're so thankful for their extremely generous support of our students as they hone their trial skills and compete in competitions across the state. We can't wait to see all they accomplish as a team this year!
