Florida Coastal School of Law Rules Moot Court

Congratulations to Emilia Walker, Florida Coastal BLSA Member and a rising 3L, for winning the Orseck Moot Court Competition held at the 2006 Annual Florida Bar Convention in Boca Raton, FL. Competition was stiff this year as Oral Advocate Teams from the University of Florida, Florida State University, Florida International University, Stetson School of Law and the University of Miami School of Law all competed in this prestigious event. Emilia Walker and her partner, Lawrence Perron, also won Best Oral Advocates Awards.*
Judging the competition were Florida Supreme Court Justices: Chief Justice Barbara J. Pariente, Justice R. Fred Lewis, Justice Peggy A. Quince, Justice Kenneth B. Bell, and Justice Raoul G. Cantero, III. According to Justice Pariente, who spoke for the entire bench, picking the best advocate was just to hard a decision.

Florida Coastal had two teams in the final round. I would look for a strong showing in January 2007 at the Southern Regional Convention since Emilia will be a strong contender.
