Contributed by the city of Opelika
Every year, law schools from around the nation compete in mock trial competitions. Municipal Court Judge Ben Hand has once again participated at the request of the competition in his and the city of Opelika’s effort to be involved in helping to produce better members of society and to give back to society in every way possible.
Judge Hand has judged several thousand cases through his 30 years of legal work and is always looking for ways to give back to the community and to the great state of Alabama, and being asked to Judge in these National completions taking place here in Alabama is just one way he has found to be involved.
