Congratulations to the Patent Moot Court Team! Harlen Compton and Emily Harris worked very hard and represented our school well at the Giles Sutherland Rich Memorial Competition this past weekend in Houston, TX. Although they lost to the eventual winner, both were commended for their quick thinking and adept oral advocacy. The Moot Court Board would also like to thank Kevin Duncan and Chris Arnold for contributing their time and effort to coach the Patent Team. JOB WELL DONE TEAM!

Please help the Moot Court Board cheer on our two Brandeis Cards (Tyler Korus & Taylor Gerlach) who are flying to the Big Apple to take a bite (and top finish) out of the Irving R. Kaufman Memorial Moot Court Competition.

Taylor and Tyler will be competing in the 38th annual Kaufman competition held at Fordham University in New York City, which in past years has attracted distinguished final round panelists such as Justice Antonin Scalia, Justice Byron White, notable Circuit Judges, leading Securities and Exchange Commission officials, and influential securities law academics and practicioners.

Good Luck Team!
