ACS Moot Court

Just this past weekend, the Law School and the American Constitution Society co-hosted one of two regional competitions in the Second Annual Constance Baker Motley National Moot Court Competition in Constitutional Law. The topic addressed open questions of law at the intersection of the freedom of the press, national security, and federal criminal law. About twenty-five teams from around the country participated, and the winning team is advancing to the national competition in Washington, D.C., in July. It will face the winner of the other regional competition, which was held at UCLA earlier in March. We're very proud of 1Ls Gretchen Helfrich and James Burnham who advanced to the quarter finals.
