Congratulations to Celeste Borjas, Alyssa Gemein, James Wold, and Dena Welden for their strong effort in the 2017 Philip C. Jessup International Moot Court Midwest Regionals in Chicago last weekend. This year’s Jessup problem involved international law issues related to transboundary water aquifers, cultural heritage and migrant/refugee rights. Our Marquette team won the 2d place award for Best Memorial in the Midwest Region. Big congratulations!

Attorneys and Marquette Law alumni Juan Amado (Jessup, 2011), Rene Jovel (Jessup, 2014) and Drew Walgreen (MU moot court, 2013), as well as Professors Megan A. O’Brien and Ryan Scoville served as team advisors. Special thanks to Jared Widseth (Jessup 2014) and Margaret Krei (Jessup 2013) as well as Attorney Nathan Kirschner for giving so much of their time to judge practice rounds this year.

It was announced Monday evening on the Jimmy Kimmel Live television program that Texas attorney Rachel Lindsay will be the next “Bachelorette” on the ABC series of that same name. Ms. Lindsay is a 2011 graduate of the Marquette University Law School. She has been a practicing litigator at the Dallas Office of the Law Firm Cooper & Scully. She was previously a contestant on this season’s ABC reality show “The Bachelor.” Ms. Lindsay’s selection is notable because she is the first African American to be cast as the lead of the popular reality series. We at the Law School wish Ms. Lindsay all of the best, both professionally and romantically.
