Chicago-Kent healthiest at Health Law Moot Court Competition

Chicago-Kent College of Law added to its growing trophy case this past weekend by winning the 17th Annual National Health Law Moot Court Competition at Southern Illinois University School of Law. Northeastern University School of Law took second place at the 34-team competition in Carbondale, Illinois. Loyola University Chicago School of Law finished third, while Saint Louis University School of Law finished fourth.

Loyola Chicago won the competition's Best Brief Award. Lauren Sneed from South Texas College of Law took Best Oralist honors, both in the preliminary rounds and overall. I personally saw Ms. Sneed compete at this year's National Entertainment Law Moot Court Competition, and I must say, she's tremendous.

It's been an incredible year for Professor Kent Streseman, Judge David Erickson, and the advocacy programs at Chicago-Kent. This marks their fifth national championship in 2008. Aside from winning both the National Moot Court Competition and National Trial Competition (and according to Dean Krent, one school winning both in the same year is an all-time first), they've also won the National Ethics Trial Competition, the Evan A. Evans Constitutional Law Moot Court Competition, and now, Health Law. Just an amazing year so far. Congrats!
