The University of Texas School of Law claimed both first and second place honors at the Annual Chief Judge Conrad B. Duberstein Bankruptcy Moot Court Competition this past weekend, besting 45 other teams in one of the country's most prestigious tournaments. Texas Tech University School of Law tied with last year's champion University of Miami School of Law for third place. The competition is sponsored by the St. John’s University School of Law and the American Bankruptcy Institute.
Texas's second-place team also took home Best Brief honors, while Nicole Hay of Southern Methodist University Dedman School of Law was awarded the Best Advocate trophy.
All in all, a really great showing for the Texas schools -- as you can see from the complete results here, two of the competition's top five briefs were written by Texas law schools, while four of the top five advocates call the Lone Star State home.
