Dear Colleagues,

This weekend, six students represented the University of Akron School of Law at the ABA National Appellate Advocacy Competition regional in Boston Massachusetts. Justin Burns, Kait Crowder, Andrew Ledebur, Lyndsey Lee, Christopher Rice and Chris Uzunyan each performed well in the preliminary rounds. The Burns/Lee/Rice team advanced from the preliminary rounds and competed in several challenging post-preliminary rounds. I am delighted to tell you that they were one of the four winning teams in the regional competition, and will now advance to the National competition in Chicago, Illinois in April.

Please join me in congratulating the team members and their coaches, Professor Joann Sahl and Attorney Paul Zindle. We thank them for all their hard work to date and wish Justin, Lyndsey and Chris every success as they compete in the nationals!

Moot Court Honor Society will be hosting an oral argument training session Thursday, February 19, 2015 from 5:30pm – 6:30pm in Room W-210. Professor Cohen will be presenting on the components of an oral argument. Although this training is required for MCHS members, it is open to everyone. This may be beneficial for 1Ls, as oral arguments approach in your LARW II courses! Please email Monica (MLL71@zips.uakron.edu) if you have any questions.
