Wiley Rutledge Moot Court Awards

Congratulations to our 2023 Wiley Rutledge Moot Court Champions, Madeline Derango and Sydney Selman! Our final round judges were very, very impressed with students’ performances, including by finalists Rudy Rosenmayer & Blake Himebaugh. Both in the final round and throughout the earlier rounds of the competition, all participants represented WashULaw with excellence. Special recognition is also due to Golden Quill Award (Best Brief) winners Danielle Fink & Monica Maiman and Emily Fox & Edward Houser, as well as our Golden Gavel Award (Best Advocate) winner, Kaitlyn Salyer. Please join us in congratulating these fine students and many others who displayed exemplary advocacy skills in this year’s competition!
