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.

National Black Law Students Association Southern Regional Conference to be held in Miami
MIAMI, FL----The Southern Region Executive Board of the National Black Law Student’s Association (NBLSA) has chosen Miami, Florida as the site for its 2007 Regional Conference. The Conference will be held January 17-21, 2007 at the newly renovated Radisson Hotel Miami located in the heart of downtown Miami’s new Arts District. The conference will occur just weeks before the city hosts Super Bowl XLI at Dolphin Stadium.
At its annual May meeting in Birmingham, Alabama the Board heard proposals from representatives from several regional law schools, but was most impressed by the culture, historic perspective and overall attraction that Miami will offer its conference participants. The University of Miami School of Law and St. Thomas University School of Law will co-host the Region’s 36th annual convention.
The conference’s most notable events will include the Thurgood Marshall Mock Trial and the Frederick Douglas Moot Court Competitions which attract competitors throughout a region comprised of 42 law schools across nine states and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. This year’s Southern Region winners received top honors at the NBLSA Convention in Washington, D.C.
NBLSA is the largest student-run organization in America, and represents over 6,000 Black law students at over 200 law schools across the country. The Southern Region (SRBLSA) is the largest of six regions within NBLSA and was the first recipient of the “Region of the Year” award at the 2006 NBLSA Convention. Recently the NBLSA established international links with Black law students in Canada, England and South Africa who modeled their student organizations after NBLSA.
