The University of Georgia Law School has seen significant success at the 2025 Philip C. Jessup International Law Moot Court Competition. The team, consisting of second-year students Dustin M. Batchelor, Grace K.S.Y. Johnson, F. Marion Kronauge, Morgan E. Pfohl, and Ellis H.P. Schmitt, finished among the top 32 teams. This achievement comes after winning the East Coast regional earlier in the year.
In addition to the team's outstanding performance, Johnson and Schmitt received recognition for their oratory skills by tying for ninth place in the best oralist category. The 2025 competition witnessed participation from a record 805 teams representing 104 countries and jurisdictions worldwide.
The team was supported by third-year students Joseph M. "Joe" Colley, Katherine A. Lewis, and Brennan A. Rose, who served as student coaches. The alumni coach for the team was J. Caleb Grant, a 2023 law graduate.
The UGA Law team's performance highlights their dedication and skill in a challenging international setting.
