The team of five (CWRU School of Law) students won the Midwest Super Regional Jessup Moot Court Competition in Chicago in February, and will compete in the international rounds (March 21^st - 28^th). The team beat Michigan State, Valparaiso and Marquette in the preliminary rounds; John Marshall College of Law in Chicago in the quarterfinals; Thomas M. Cooley College of Law in Lansing, Mich., in the semifinals; and Loyola University School of Law in the finals to advance to the competition in Washington, D.C.

In 2008, the school's (Jessup Moot Court) team won the Jessup World Championship. This is the third time in four years it has made it to the international competition.

Michael Scharf, a law professor at the school and the team's coach, said the win 'brings a real positive image' to CWRU.

'When we walk into that particular competition, we're seen as the Harvard of law schools that compete,' he said.
