Congratulations to second-year law students Emma R. Hopkins, Jacob S. Levy, Lionel A. Rubio and Nathan C. Whisamore, along with third-year student Morgan E. Pfohl, who finished in the top half of the international tier of the Philip C. Jessup International Law Moot Court Competition held at the end of March in Washington, D.C. The team was coached by third-year student F. Marion Kronauge, alumni coach Caleb Grant (J.D.’23) and Associate Director of the Dean Rusk International Law Center Taher Benany.
Approximately 800 teams worldwide compete in the annual event, with fewer than 200 advancing to the international rounds. With their recent performance, UGA finished in the top 10 percent globally.
