For the second year in a row, NSU Law’s ABA National Appellate Advocacy Moot Court Team are Regional Champions! The team of Jaclyn Lopez (3L), Jordan Stein (3L), and Brandee Permenter (2L) defeated teams from Capital, Miami, Pace, and Rutgers at the Brooklyn Regional, February 16-18, to advance to the National Competition. Additionally, Jordan Stein (3L) received a Top 10 Advocate award. Out of 173 teams, they are one of 24 teams advancing to Nationals. This is the fourth time in nine years that NSU Law Moot Court has reached this incredible goal. The team is coached by Prof. Heather Baxter.

Thank you to the following faculty and alumni who helped prepare the team for the competition: Professor Marc Consalo, Prof. Mark Dobson, Prof. Jessica Garcia-Brown, Prof. Jon Garon, Prof. Eric Hull, Prof. linda harrison, Prof. Marilyn Uzdavines, Khalil Quinan, Bethany Pandher, James Foster, and Jonathan Bornstein. The team also thanks Dean Juárez and the College of Law’s administration for their continued support of our Advocacy Program.
