Law School congratulates Moot Court teams

     Campbell University congratulates the National Moot Court Teams on their inspired performances at the National Moot Court Regional Competition, held November 18 and 19 in Richmond, Va. The Campbell teams, consisting of Allegra Cazzari, Anne Coley, Aulica Rutland, Thomas Stroud, Kirsten Todd and April Williams, advanced to the semi-final round. Both teams were undefeated in the preliminary rounds, defeating teams from William & Mary, the University of Virginia, the University of West Virginia and the University of Louisville. Only Campbell and Duke placed two teams in the quarter finals, while Campbell’s “A” team easily beat one of the Duke teams in the Semis and the “B” team bested a feisty University of Virginia team. Unfortunately, the “A” team lost as a result of Duke’s brief, which won the Best Brief Award in the competition, while the “B” Team had a good run with Wake Forest yet lost in a close semi-final match.
     “Campbell’s teams performed brilliantly. To place both teams in the semi-finals was a real accomplishment,” said Professor Richard Lord. “We congratulate and thank all six competitors for their hard work and dedication.”
     The National Moot Court Competition is the oldest and most prestigious moot court competition in the country, attracting teams from some 170 schools nationwide. Lord and Assistant Professor Bryan Boyd are advisors to the team.
