The Elon Law team of Chantelle Lytle, Jason Senges and Adam Spivey advanced from preliminary rounds to reach the quarterfinals of the William B. Spong Moot Court Tournament at William & Mary School of Law.
Chantelle Lytle, Jason Senges and Adam Spivey, all members of the Class of 2013 at Elon Law, advanced from the preliminary rounds to reach the quarterfinals of the 42nd annual William B. Spong Moot Court Tournament, held February 15 and 16 at William & Mary School of Law. This was Elon Law’s first time competing at the Spong invitational tournament, which was held February 15 and 16. Twenty-two teams from law schools across the country, including eventual champion South Texas College of Law, competed in this year’s tournament.
Elon Law was also well represented by the team of Annie Murphy L’14, Trevor Huck L’13 and Tim Mearns L’13, which presented strong arguments in the preliminary rounds and narrowly missed also advancing to the top eight teams.
The teams were coached by Professors James G. Exum Jr., Bonnie McAlister and Alan Woodlief.
