Moot Court Success

The Moot Court season officially has begun and UDM School of Law’s Moot Court Team is starting out strong!

Two teams from UDM traveled to Chicago for the Chicago Bar Association Moot Court Tournament November 13-15, 2008. Team I was represented by John Murray, Lisa Meerschaert and Chris Kenrick. Team II included Ashley Felton and Craig Murray.

Both teams advanced to the Octofinals on Saturday evening and competed against one another. Team II advanced to the finals, beating Pepperdine University in the semi-finals and Florida Coastal in the final round. Florida Coastal has won this tournament for the past several years.

UDM School of Law’s Moot Court team represented by John Murray, Lisa Meerschaert and Chris Kenrick was awarded 3rd Best Brief Overall, and John Murray was named Best Oralist Overall.

The team’s Faculty Coach Professor Julie St. John said, “In fact, the general consensus among the bench was that this was the highest caliber of moot court competition that they have seen in a long time, if ever. As their faculty coach, I literally swelled with pride each time they took to the podium. What a fantastic start to our moot court season!”

In Lansing, UDM School of Law students Jared Trust, Khalil Rahal, Andrew White and Bryan Padgett competed in the New York City Bar Association Moot Court Regional on November 14 and 15, 2008. Jared Trust and Khalil Rahal advanced to the Quarterfinals of the competition.
