Please join us for the final round of the 2019–2020 Harlan Fiske Stone Moot Court Competition
Friday, May 1, 2020
4:15–6:30 p.m
Via Zoom webinar. Please register here


The competition will be judged by a distinguished panel of federal judges: Hon. Joseph F. Bianco ’91 (2nd Circuit), Hon. Adalberto Jordán (11th Circuit), and Hon. Debra A. Livingston (2nd Circuit).
This year’s case —bringing with it a new set of social-distancing challenges not outlined in the case summary—touches on issues of disability rights, statutory interpretation, standing, and mootness. Oral arguments in Chen v. Secret Saturdays Inc. will be delivered by four outstanding student finalists: Lydia Turnage ’21 and Christen E. Hammock ’20 (representing Chen) and Gregory Bernstein ’20 and Andrew Khanarian ’20 (representing Secret Saturdays).

Since 1925, the Harlan Fiske Stone Moot Court Competition has been the proving ground for the Law School’s most talented aspiring advocates. I hope you will join me in supporting this important program—and our larger commitment to providing students with unmatched opportunities to hone their legal skills—by attending this year’s final round.
Kindly sign up in advance to receive your individual registration code, which you will need to access the event. For inquiries, please contact Ilene Strauss or Sarah Shin.
