Moot Court announces upcoming Swygert Memorial Moot Court Competition
Posted by: admin in Organizations
On November 5, 2008 the Valparaiso University School of Law Moot Court Society will host the 20th annual Judge Luther M. Swygert Memorial Moot Court Competition. Every year members of the Moot Court Society delve into areas of First Amendment law in this competition. This year’s topic involves academic freedom for professors, which is timely and of great interest to many.
Members will endure a brief-writing competition followed by multiple rounds of oral arguments judged by members of the Executive Board (Tamara Carnahan, Sheri Erdmann, Josh Malher, Teranni Randolph, Andrew
Smith and Katie Staab). The field will be narrowed to the top four competitors who will perform in the final round on November 5th.
The judges for the final round are
Judge John Tinder of the 7th Circuit, Justice Elizabeth Lacy of the Virginia Supreme Court, and Justice Debra Todd of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.
Members of the Moot Court Society include:
Dominic Buttitta, Andy Dickerson, Ilisha Dowell, Joshua Faucette, Mitch
Gilfillan, Kirsten Haalboom, Brandon Hall, Sean Hatfield, Allison Horton, Milo Johnson, Jesse Lanshe, Joanna Lekkas, Elizabeth Madlem, Anthony Mayerhofer, Kathryn McEnery, Ashley Mills, Brett Mock, Amy Molloy, Erika Nelson, Steve Olsen, Nicholas Poteres, Abigail Rom, Heather Schaefer, Sameer Siddiqui, Jeff Speights, Arriel Stevens, Moses Suarez, Jessica Warren
