Alumni Involvement Propels Moot Court Team to Historic Year
C|M|LAW's moot court teams had arguably the most successful season in our program's history in 2016-17. Our talented competitors, along with Moot Court Faculty Advisor
Professor
Carolyn Broering-Jacobs and BLSA Faculty Advisor
Professor
Browne Lewis, deserve the bulk of the credit for these successes. However, there is also an unsung force that gives the C|M|LAW teams an edge over the competition - the involvement of alumni.
