A Vicarious Thrill November 9, 2022

My niece is a 3rd year student at Harvard Law School.
Last year, her Moot Court Team made it to the finals of the Ames Moot Court Competition
The Ames Competition is one of the most prestigious competitions for appellate brief writing and advocacy in the country. Students participating in the Final Round started the competition in the fall of their 2L year. From there, two teams progress to the Final Round through their strong research abilities and excellent written and oral advocacy. The Final Round is traditionally judged by this country’s preeminent jurists.
The oral arguments for Ames 2022 are right around the corner.
Let the Countdown begin:
Aah . . . that’s brilliant!
The oral arguments are tomorrow night! Click HERE for more information on the 2022 Final Round.

Spirit Lights The Way 
What a wonderful achievement… and great experience for her. Thanks for shar8ng her Auntie’s love and pride. 💐💖🥰
Last year, I watched oral arguments in the semi-finals thanks to ZOOM! Will do the same this year.
So excited for Emily and the rest of her team!!!
Good luck to her!
I sent her a link so she can see any Good Luck being tossed her way. Her team’s 2 oralists are apt to be on the nervous side today. 😀
Oh Nancy! You must be so proud of her! What a wonderful team to be on.
She’s been a stellar scholar throughout her life . . . but she’s nearing the pinnacle! So, yup, über proud of her!
Nancy, the best of luck to her and her team members as well. This sounds like a very cool competition, and you certainly should be very proud of her accomplishment in being a part of it.
Thanks! I’ll pass along your good wishes.
Wow. Kudos to her!
Her legal career is off to a flying start . . . and, best of all, she loves “the law.”
What a lovely bunch of young people.
Aren’t they? Maybe theirs is the generation that will turn the tide and steer us back on course . . . away from the precipice and abyss.
Your vicarious thrill is even more meaningful because of your background in law. Congratulations to your niece.
Thanks, Nicki. Her interest and enthusiasm in her legal studies brings back fond memories for me.
I LOVED law school ~ fascinating and interesting intellectual challenges AND no worries about disappointed clients since I was the only one affected when I did (or did not) do well. 😀
This is so exciting. My son is an attorney and I remember the excitement accompanying Moot Court. This is a very high honor for your niece and clearly speaks of her hard work and abilities! I’m so happy for her and hope that with all the pressure and responsibility and WORK she will take a moment to be very proud of herself! 🙂
I missed watching the arguments live tonight, but believe that Emily’s team won the competition and is out celebrating. 😀
I’m hoping to watch a video of the competition soon.
Cool beans! I’m impressed with your niece’s accomplishment. Moot court in any setting is difficult, let alone at this level.
I wasn’t able to watch the competition live, but my brother let me know that:
Emily’s team won all 3 categories.
Best oralist, brief and overall team.
Woo Hoo!
