Minnesota Law’s Moot Court Teams Excel in National Competition
On the national moot court stage, Minnesota Law teams have demonstrated that they are no one-act show.
Two Minnesota Law teams advanced to the final round in two different competitions— Gender & Sexuality and F.B.A. Thurgood Marshall —and five teams won best brief awards at five competitions (ABA, I.P., Gender & Sexuality, William McGee Civil Rights, and F.B.A. Thurgood Marshall). In addition, another student competitor was named a top ten oralist at the ABA competition.
We don’t just have one or two teams that are doing well, we have a plethora of teams that have excelled at national competitions,” says Randall Ryder ’09, director of Minnesota Law’s moot court program.
“It speaks to the overall success of the program that we had students with different backgrounds and interests, yet they all demonstrated amazing skills in oral and written advocacy in different practice areas,” Ryder adds. “It showcases what great students we have.”
3Ls Faith Hemingway and Alex Screaton were recently interviewed about their experience in the Moot Court program.
