The International Law Students Association recently announced our Jessup Team received the 2011 Richard R. Baxter Award for the best applicant brief in the international moot court competition. Our team’s respondent brief placed second in the world as well. More than 600 teams from across the world competed in this year’s Jessup competition.

In March, our team was awarded the Alona E. Evans Award for the fifth-best combined briefs internationally. Over the summer, a separate panel of judges evaluated the top-ranked applicant and respondent briefs from the international competition for the prestigious Baxter Award. As the winner of the Baxter Award, the applicant brief will be published in a forthcoming volume of the ILSA Journal of International and Comparative Law in the 2011 Jessup Compendium.

For more on the Richard R. Baxter award, as well as the full results of the competition, and a copy of this winning brief, please see the International Law Students Association website.

Our 2011 Jessup Team was comprised of Cameron MacLeod, Tyler Talbert, Elizabeth Sparks, and Jory Hoffman, and coach by alumna Margaux Day. We have a strong tradition of success at the Jessup Competition, having won the World Championship in 2008, and this is a similarly remarkable achievement. We congratulate the entire team on their successes!
