Live blogging from the NAAC finals

The national finals of the ABA National Appellate Advocacy Competition are underway, with the preliminary rounds starting and finishing yesterday. The original field of 24 now stands at 16.

Several teams had to be artificially re-seeded because the rules dictate that two teams from the same school cannot meet each other until the national championship match. I've noted those teams below. The last few years the seeding has meant very little; South Texas College of Law has won both times as the #15 seed (2009) and the #16 seed (2010). Can they pull of a three-peat???

The top 16 teams, in order of their seeds:

1. University of Texas School of Law
2. Texas Tech University School of Law
3. University of the Pacific McGeorge School of Law (originally #4)
4. Duke University School of Law (originally #3)
5. University of Memphis Cecil C. Humphreys School of Law
6. Washington University in St. Louis School of Law
7. South Texas College of Law (originally #9)
8. University of the Pacific McGeorge School of Law
9. Washington University in St. Louis School of Law (originally #7)
10. UC Berkeley Boalt Hall School of Law
11. Seton Hall University School of Law (originally #12)
12. Texas Tech University School of Law (originally #11)
13. University of Florida Fredric G. Levin College of Law
14. Indiana University School of Law - Indianapolis
15. Duke University School of Law
