The University of Georgia School of Law has emerged victorious in the East Coast regional round of the Philip C. Jessup International Law Moot Court Competition. The team, composed of second-year students Dustin M. Batchelor, Grace K.S.Y. Johnson, F. Marion Kronauge, Morgan E. Pfohl, and Ellis H.P. Schmitt, successfully defeated teams from Harvard University and American University.
Following this win, the UGA team will proceed to compete at the national level later this month. Their preparation was supported by third-year students Joseph M. "Joe" Colley and Brennan A. Rose as student coaches and alumni coach J. Caleb Grant (J.D.'23).
The Jessup competition is recognized as the world's largest moot court tournament with participation from approximately 700 law schools across 100 countries and jurisdictions.
