A few days ago I noted that the ultra-prestigious ABA National Appellate Advocacy Competition was underway, with the first two of six regional competitions taking place in Washington, D.C. and San Francisco. Eight teams have now punched their Chicago dance cards, with another 16 spots up for grabs over the next two weekends.
I don't have any information on brief scores/rankings or top advocates, so don't ask (even if I did, I wouldn't post until after the whole tournament has finished in order to protect the anonymity of the teams). Without further ado:
San Francisco Regional:
Baylor Law School
UC Berkeley Boalt Hall School of Law
University of the Pacific McGeorge School of Law (2 teams)
Washington, D.C. Regional:
Charleston School of Law
Florida A&M University College of Law
Liberty University School of Law (2 teams)
In my Thursday post about strength of regions, San Francisco came out as either one of the weakest or one of the strongest regions, depending on which metric used. In any any event, Baylor's and McGeorge's wins should be no surprise, as both had teams in Chicago last year and boast strong programs. This marks the second-straight year for UC Hastings College of the Law to be denied a regional championship, which is somewhat surprising...
