Two former judges and a rubric.
Chris Cox
Director of Trial Advocacy and Assistant Professor of Law, Campbell University School of LawProfessor Cox came to Campbell Law in 2023 after a 24-year Navy career that ended as a trial judge on the Navy-Marine Corps Trial Judiciary, where he presided over criminal cases and built training curriculum for judges across the Navy. He tried cases from both sides as prosecutor and as defense counsel, handling national security matters, sexual assault, and other serious felonies, and delivered advanced litigation instruction to the Navy's prosecution and defense bars. He has lectured at the Naval War College and taught trial advocacy at the Naval Justice School. At Campbell Law he leads the trial advocacy program, developing the curriculum and training both students and faculty.
Professor Cox engineered and built the platform himself, for the people doing the same work he does. Trial advocacy directors, attorney partners and mentors, adjunct instructors, and mock trial coaches carry the training load for the next generation with time that does not scale, and junior counsel and students pay for it in reps they never get. This program was built to make their jobs easier and to make trial advocacy programs stronger.
Charles Warren
Assistant Professor of Law, Campbell University School of LawProfessor Warren teaches Criminal Law, Criminal Procedure, and Evidence. He joined Campbell Law in 2025 after a 21-year Air Force career in military justice as litigator, policy analyst, educator, and jurist, serving as a military trial judge from 2018 to 2023 and then on the Air Force Court of Criminal Appeals through 2025. He was named Distinguished Graduate of the Joint Military Judge's Course, finishing first among 46 judges from across the Department of Defense. He led policy development for the Military Justice Act of 2016 as lead counsel for the Defense Department's Military Justice Review Group and served as Chief of the Military Justice Division at the Air Force JAG School.
Professor Warren contributes to the instructional content behind the platform, including testing and refining the rubric feedback students receive, and reviews the case materials and courtroom behavior for fidelity to how trials actually run.
