Client Skills Board Competitions Update

The Client Skills Board would like to congratulate the MULS teams and their coaches for a fine showing at a number of different competitions over the past three weeks.

Elizabeth Larson and Melissa Fischer won the ABA Representation in Mediation Regional Competition at the John Marshall Law School on February 16th. Yay, team! They will advance to the ABA Representation in Mediation National Competition in Miami in April so please wish them luck.

At the same competition, Emil Ovbiagele and Kavin Tedamrongwanish finished 9th overall. Carin Steber traveled with the teams and provided important on-site coaching assistance.

Brian Brockman, Rachel Craig, and Tyler Nash participated in the Great Lakes Mediation Competition at Michigan State on February 15th – 16th. The MULS team made it into the semi-final rounds on Sunday, and finished first overall for team advocacy skills. Tyler and Brian finished 4th overall for individual advocacy scores in a single round.

Kathryn Connor and Todd Brand competed in the ABA Client Counseling Competition at the University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana on February 15th, finishing 7th overall, just missing out on a spot in the semi-final rounds.

Alex Golubiewski and Alex Eichorn competed in the Transactional Law Meet this past weekend at Northwestern Law School, negotiating the finer points of an indemnification agreement they drafted under the guidance of coach Professor Nadelle Grossman. In one round they received a perfect score for understanding and asserting their client’s position.

Congratulations to all the competitors and their coaches: Carin Steber, Avery Mayne, Kavin Tedamrongwanish, Professor Nadelle Grossman and Professor Natalie Fleury.

And on a final note, the Clients Skills Board will be hosting an Intramural Negotiations Competition at the Law School on March 22nd and a Happy Hour (or two) afterwards to celebrate the year, our volunteers, judges, and community members.
