The University of Georgia School of Law has achieved a significant victory 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, secured their win by defeating teams from Harvard University and American University.
This accomplishment allows them to advance to the international level of the competition later this month. Third-year students Joseph M. "Joe" Colley and Brennan A. Rose contributed as student coaches, with J. Caleb Grant (J.D.'23) serving as the alumni coach.
The Jessup competition is recognized as the largest moot court tournament globally, involving approximately 700 law schools from 100 countries and jurisdictions.
