AASU Pre-Law Students Attend National Moot Court

Savannah, GA—Armstrong Atlantic State University pre-law students Shelina Gwaduri and Richard Amann traveled to the University of Texas-Arlington to compete at the National Undergraduate Moot Court Tournament sponsored by the American Collegiate Moot Court Association.

More than one hundred students from sixty schools around the country competed for $2,500 in scholarships. Each school had to defend one side of a particular case and then forty-five minutes later defend the other side.

This was the first time Armstrong Atlantic participated in this tournament. The students trained for the competition for three months under AASU professors Richard Nordquist (rhetoric) and John Kearnes (constitutional law). Hunter Maclean Exley & Dunn PC law firm provided financial support for the students' travel expenses.
