IPLS would like to congratulate this year’s participants in the Saul Lefokowitz Moot court competition. Our congratulations to all the hard work put in by Stephanie Semler, Nicholas Kalin, Kenny Kuper, Wei Sam Lao, Tyler Whidby, Caelyn Palmer, and Alexander Summerton, in preparing for and competing in the February 11th, 2017 Regional Competition in Decatur, GA. George Mason sent two teams this year.

Our further congratulations to the team of Wei Sam Lao, Tyler Whidby, Caelyn Palmer, and Alexander Summerton for securing First Place and Best Oral Arguments in the regional competition. This is the third year in a row George Mason has won the Regional Competition.
