UCI Law impresses again in Jessup Moot Court
The UCI Law team competing in the Jessup International Law Moot Court Competition
performed exceptionally well at the Pacific Regional, where it faced 21
other schools, including UC Berkeley, UC Davis, UC Hastings, UCLA, and
USC. The team was undefeated in the first four rounds, defeated USC in
the quarter-finals, and made it to the semi-finals with three other
teams. Team members Celeste Ahl, Jenny Hua, Sabyl Landrum, Rebecca Liu and Kate Wagner
wrote two outstanding briefs (called “memorials”), winning First Place
in the overall rankings by a wide margin. Kate Wagner won Third Place
out of 88 competitors for oral advocacy, and Celeste Ahl won Fourth
Place. All five team members together mastered extraordinarily complex
facts and difficult international legal issues in this year’s problem. Full results here
