Appellate judges ‘preside over’ Moot Court Competition at Brooklyn Law School
Brooklyn Law School hosted its 28th annual Jerome Prince Memorial Evidence Competition earlier this month. The competition, which focuses on the students’ skill in appellate advocacy, drew 36 teams from various law schools nationwide.
The judging panels included federal and state jurists, BLS faculty and BLS alumna. Sitting on the final judging panel were U.S. Senior Appellate Judge for the Second Circuit Chester J. Straub, former U.S. Chief Appellate Judge for the D.C. Circuit Patricia M. Wald, and U.S. Chief Judge for the Northern District of Ohio Solomon Oliver Jr.
“It has been an incredible experience putting everything together,” Alexandra Olsen, BLS student and the competition’s coordinator, told the Brooklyn Daily Eagle. “From working with the team of writers who conceived of and developed the problem to talking to competitors from all over the country, and to interacting with judges and practitioners … [this] will be one of the most memorable things about law school for me.”
