WNE Law has been approved to participate in the Williams Insitute National Moot Court Competition on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Law! All interested students must participate in the 2-credit Appellate Moot Court Tutorial class in the fall taught by Professors Orlen and Kaiser. The class culminates in a moot court competition through which members of our team will be selected. Students who participate in the Moot Court Tutorial are not guaranteed a spot on the Williams Institute Team--they will compete for a slot against other students who have indicated an interest in the Williams Institute team, but everyone who participates will get 2 credits.
Professors Flynn and Shay will co-coach the team and Professor Flynn will travel with the team to L.A in the spring.
