Regent University has no basketball team. Outside of the annual, intramural Chili Bowl, we play no football. Instead, the pride of the university is the law school's advocacy teams.
The moot court team begain its season last weekend with a superb performance at a University of Houston tournament that was essentially a tournament of champions. Lindsey Powdrell and Liz Fabick took second place and Lindsey was named the tournament's best oralist. (Read the full story here.)
What makes this particularly special is that the tournament was by invitation only. The organizers invited the top 16 moot court programs in the nation (per a national ranking). So we finished 2nd among a group of super teams.
I attribute the result to the outstanding talent and preparation displayed by Lindsey and Liz, great coaching by Professor Steve Fitschen, and God's blessing on our efforts.
I can't wait to see what the rest of the season brings!
