The Moot Court Honor Society would like to thank all of the competitors for their participation in the 2016 Monrad G. Paulsen Competition.

Please join us in congratulating:

Cealagh Fitzpatrick '17, Best Oralist

Amanda Coleman '17, Best Brief

Michael Ricottone '18, 2nd Place Oralist & 2nd Place Brief

Additionally, the Moot Court Honor Society would like to congratulate Jonathan Howe' 18 and Melissa Trenk for making it to the final round. All of this year's competitors performed exceptionally and the competition could not have run as smoothly without the help of the Cardozo faculty and staff in addition to the moot court members who staffed the event. Thank you all for bringing about such a successful event.

The Monrad G. Paulsen Competition is an intramural moot court competition where 2Ls and 3Ls earn an academic credit. Students must write a brief based on a criminal law problem written by members of the Moot Court Honor Society and then compete in oral arguments. The competitors performed in two preliminary rounds on Monday, September 26. The quarter finals were on Wednesday, September 28 as well as the semi finals, later that same night. The final round was on September 29 and the four finalists argued before Professor Jonathan Oberman, adjunct professor and head of the Prosecutor Practicum Gary Galperin, and Justine Olderman from the Bronx Defenders.
