Texas Tech three-peats at NLLSA

My Texas Tech team won its third-straight championship at the National Latino/a Law Student Association Moot Court Competition this past weekend. The competition, which is held as part of NLLSA's annual conference, took place at Yale Law School. As it happened, Yale finished second. UC Davis School of Law and Northwestern University School of Law were the semifinalists; UC Davis was credited as the third-place team. Fourteen teams competed.

Yale penned the Best Petitioner Brief, while Boston College Law School wrote the Best Respondent Brief. Shmyla Alam of Texas Tech won Best Advocate of the preliminary rounds as well as Best Advocate in the final round.
