So, my little ride came to an end tonight - I lost a 2-1 decision in the quarterfinals. I can't complain - the other guy was very good, and my nervousness just got the best of me. Oh well, it was worth it, and I did better than I would have imagined at the start of the competition.

So, just to complete the story, I found out tonight that I made the Moot Court Board. There were 8 or 9 of us who made it out of the 29 competitors; I talked to the student judges, and they said that they graded me really highly, and that my quarterfinal loss was even more narrow than I had thought.

So, even with the loss, I still got what I wanted - I'm thrilled!

Congratulations. I can easily say that being on the Moot Court Bench was the most useful activity (in terms of preparing me for practice) in three years of law school.

Awesome news! I really regret not being able to audition for Moot Court - I was in weddings both years the weekend of the audition. I hope you enjoy it!

I made moot court, too! I have made it to the semi-finals (top 16) --> competition picks back up after the new year. The people who make it to the semi's are automatically selected to the moot court board.

That's awesome, congrats! That'd be pretty funny if we ended up in the same interscholastic tournament at some point...haha.
