Law School Honored at International Competition
Students in Campbell University’s Norman Adrian
Wiggins School of Law recently tested their skills successfully
against international competition in the Willem C. Vis
International Commercial Arbitration Moot Competition in
Vienna, Austria.
In the competition, 136 institutions competed from
42 different countries. The Campbell team received an honorable
mention in the best memorandum for claimant, which placed it in the
top 10 percent of all the institutions represented.
Second-year students David Ennis, Becca Livert, Shanda
Setzer, and Melissa Walker and third-year students Meredith Kasper and
Heather Kiger participated in the competition.
In the oral hearings, Campbell’s team competed with the
University of Pristina (Kosovo), Bucerius Law School (Germany), the
University of Lapland (Finland), and Ghent University (Belgium).
“Campbell has now received honors at the Vienna
Competition in each of the last three years. It is no overstatement to
call our law school student body ‘world- class,’ ” said Alan Button, law
school professor and team coach.
Founded in 1976, the Norman Adrian Wiggins School of Law
has an enrollment of over 300 students and enjoys a heritage derived
from three distinct traditions—the noble tradition of the legal
profession, the Christian tradition, and the finer traditions of the
rural South, such as friendliness and self-reliance. It strives to
educate lawyers who are prepared to serve their communities with legal
skills and ethical and intellectual leadership.
