On Sunday, November 17th, Haub Law hosted its first-ever LLM Moot Court Competition, offering LLM students from diverse backgrounds the opportunity to argue a First Amendment case in a rigorous, professional setting. The competition not only showcased the advocacy skills of the LLM cohort, but also fostered connections with the broader law school community.

Four students advanced to the final rounds of the competition including Vanessa Camelo (Comparative Legal Studies), Mayara Carvallo (Comparative Legal Studies), Lola Gutierrez (Exchange Program) and Alexander Graham (Environmental Law). After a series of compelling arguments, Vanessa Camelo was named Best Oralist, demonstrating her exceptional legal reasoning and presentation skills.

"I am incredibly proud of the performance of our students, and I look forward to seeing how this experience will enhance their legal careers."
