Emory Law Moot Court teams competed recently in virtual competitions this month including the Duberstein Bankruptcy Moot Court Competition and the The Philip C. Jessup International Law Moot Court Competition. For the Duberstein Bankruptcy team, competitors Kaitlyn Gilbert 22L, Remya Menon 22L, and Robert Brown 22L brought home the Best Brief Award and placed third nationally. The Duberstein team was coached by Cayton Chrisman 21L, Bara Ahmad 21L, Katherine Dolansky 21L, and Bennett Gillogly 21L. The Moot Court Society would like to particularly thank Judge Sigler, Judge Baisier, and Judge Grimberg for practice-benching the Duberstein team leading up to the competition.
