Regent enjoys the reputation now as one of the top moot court programs in the country. That reputation was hard-earned by winning championships in some of the nation’s most prestigious tournaments.
But our moot court board does more than just send out teams to compete. It also organizes and hosts competitions. Some are intramur al as students hone their skills and compete against one another. Each February, the board also hosts a major national constitutional law tournament.
Regent’s 8th Annual Constitutional Moot Court tournament was held last weekend. Teams came from all regions of the country to compete, with the College of William & Mary taking the title.
I mention the tournament because I was very proud of the students on our moot court board. Those students—led by Lindsey Powdrell and Keith Richardson— planned, organized, and carried off a superb tournament! They worked long hours while juggling many responsibilities. At all points, our students displayed excellence and graciousness. They did so selflessly. The competition provides little personal reward to our students. They do not compete. They simply serve others so that those students can compete. And they serve the judges who come from all over to evaluate the arguments (such as North Carolina Supreme Court Justice Edward Thomas Brady, pictured below).
