Wake Forest’s National Moot Court Team, coached by Professor John Korzen (JD ’91), won all five of its oral arguments, tied for the second best brief and finished as the runner-up at the Region IV tournament held on Nov. 17 -18 in Richmond, Virginia. It is the fifth straight year that Wake Forest School of Law has reached the national finals in the National Moot Court Competition, which is the oldest moot court competition in the country and now in its 68th year.
The current team is preparing for the National Moot Court Competition finals in January in New York after its success at the regional finals. The team will attend the finals as one of the best 30 teams in the country out of more than 180 that entered the competition. Only the two finalists from each region advance to the national finals.
