Congratulations to second-year students Amanda M. Cheek, E. Reed Ferguson and Alina N. Salgado for finishing as regional finalists at the largest moot court tournament in the country, the American Bar Association National Appellate Advocacy Competition. The trio authored the second best brief and Cheek was recognized as the fourth best overall oralist.

A second team representing UGA at the tournament included second-year students Sean C. Barrett, Michael E. Oliver and Ellen T. "Ellie" Williams. Both teams were led by student coaches Ashleigh Rasheed-Britt and Olivia B. Landrum, both third-year students. 

School of Law grads who played a special role in UGA's success this year were: Holly A. Pierson (J.D.'96), Lisa Durham Taylor (J.D.'00), John T. Stembridge (J.D.'03) and Andrew Z. Smith (J.D.'17).
