A team of students from the Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law competed in the 25th annual Saul Lefkowitz Moot Court Competition Midwest regional in Chicago on February 6, along with 17 other teams from a total of 13 law schools.
The team was made up of advocates (in the photo inside the federal courthouse in Chicago, from left) Tyler Holmes, Jeffrey Cummins, Allyson Kage (team coach), and Eric Peterson. Faculty advisors for the team were Professor Allison Martin and Adjunct Professor Clifford Browning, ’78.
The Lefkowitz Moot Court Competition introduces law students to issues arising in U.S. trademark and unfair competition law. Regional competitions take place in early February, with the top two teams from each regional moving on to compete in the finals in Washington, D.C., in March.
“The advocates performed exceptionally well under intense questioning by the judges and wrote a strong brief,” said Kage. “I was very proud of their performance.” Kage is a 3L who will graduate in May. Cummins is a 3L in the evening division. Holmes and Peterson are 2Ls.
