This year Denise Grab '08, Mary Pyrdum '08, and Michael Helbing '08 represented Yale Law School with distinction, laying the groundwork for what we hope will be continued success by YELA members in future moot courts. The team reached the quarterfinal round of competition, with Mary and Denise winning the title of best oralists in the first and third rounds, respectively. Congratulations to all three on a fantastic performance! Please click here to download their moot court brief.
