GW Team Wins National Moot Court Competition

A team from GW Law won the 2015 National Moot Court Competition hosted by the New York City Bar Association. 4L Kyle Singhal and 2L Dane Shikman defeated USC and Oklahoma in the preliminary National Rounds and then went on to beat Gonzaga, Drake, and Wake Forest to set up a finals meeting with Georgetown. Richard Friedman, an adjunct professor and attorney at the Department of Justice, coached the team. The competition is recognized as one of the oldest, largest, and most prestigious moot courts in the U.S. and had 189 teams competing this year. Kyle and Dane are pictured here with Dean Blake D.
