Congratulations to all the participants in the competition. We also very much appreciate the judges who grade briefs and participate in the preliminary rounds. This year we had a recent alum, Natalie Schiferl, who travelled all the way from Minnesota to judge the competition. One of the great things about moot court is how active our alums and volunteers are, and we appreciate their time and assistance very much. A special thank you to Samuel (Micah) Woo, Associate Justice in charge of the competition.
Best wishes to all of the competitors on Wednesday night.
