The team prevailed in the regional rounds and then headed to New York, where they squared off against 31 other teams from around the country. Over the course of six rounds in four days, the team ultimately won in the finals before a panel of five distinguished judges.

In addition to winning the national championship, Stuhrenberg was named best oralist in the final round.

The team was coached by the School of Law’s Kellie Casey and Rob McNiff. This is the fourth time the School of Law has won the National Moot Court Competition.
