King Hall Competes in Giles Sutherland Rich Moot Court Competition

Two UC Davis teams competed in the 38th Annual Giles Sutherland Rich Memorial Moot Court Competition March 11-13 in Palo Alto. The competition, which focuses on intellectual property, took place at the Offices of Morrison and Foerster and featured Moot Court teams from across the United States.  Both Davis Teams did well in the competition, but ultimately did not advance to the National Round in Washington D.C.

The team of Roya Ladan '12 and Caroline Nasella'12 and the team of Asheesh Kalra '12 and Ryan Norman '12 competed against 13 teams from other law schools, appearing before patent law practitioners. The judges were very impressed by the skill and knowledge the teams displayed.

The competitors would like to thank the following individuals for their insight and guidance in preparing for the competition: Professors Angelo DeSantis, Peter Lee, and Madhavi Sunder, King Hall student coaches Lauren Carden ‘11 and Krista Celentano ‘11, the UC Davis School of Law Moot Court Board, student volunteers Camille Barr ‘12, Brian Eller '11, Kyle Morishita '11, and James Tiehm '11 for their support and time.
