WM's Thomas Tang Moot Court Teams Perform Well at Regionals!

    Our Thomas Tang Moot Court teams represented Mitchell very ably at the October 7-8 regional competition in Chicago.  Ten teams from six schools participated in the competition. 

    Jason Teiken and Tara Kalar wrote the fourth-best brief.  In the preliminary rounds, Jason and Tara argued against the Loyola team that eventually defeated the other Loyola team for the championship and against the Chicago-Kent team that came in fourth.  Jonathan Fischer and Laura Bantle argued in the preliminary rounds against the Illinois team that came in third and against the Hamline team.

     For their invaluable assistance as practice-round judges, our contestants and I are extremely grateful to Lindsey Andersen, Brad Colbert, Sarah Deer, Eric Goodemote, Doug Heidenreich, Mark Hellie, Jill Kalogerson, Ken Port,  Deborah Schmedemann, Mike Steenson, Edward Toussaint, and Tony Winer.  Also, special thanks to Renate Behrendt for handling the logistics.

     Special congratulations to our treasurer, Laura, for her performance at Regionals!

Dressing the Part: For the Ladies

As you start your legal career in law school you soon realize that image does in fact matter. If you want to be seen as a professional and be taken seriously you have to look the part. This is especially important if you have an interview for an internship or job, or if you have a networking event or function to attend.

I would like to share with the female APALSA members this wonderful site. My mentor told me about this site the summer before I started law school. Some of the items mentioned are outside the price-range of most law students, but they do offer great tips on how a professional woman should be dressing and carrying herself. Do check it out!
