Second, he competed in the annual Trial By Combat tournament. This competition brings together the top 16 college mock trial advocates in the country, and Neibart had a strong finish in a very competitive field. This was hosted by Drexel Law School and UCLA.

Last, Neibart competed in the One Last Time tournament. His team won the national championship, and Neibart delivered the closing argument in the final round.
