The winners of the North American round of the Stetson International Environmental Law Moot Court are Ashley Thornton and Emily Green (St. Thomas University).
The STU duo competed against the University of Illinois Chicago, the University of Miami, and the University of Hawaii and advanced straight to the finals as the team with the highest winning record from the preliminary rounds.
Also, Emily Green was named the Best Oralist in the preliminary rounds, and Ashley Thornton was crowned as the Best Oralist in the final round.
The written brief submitted by the pair was also recognized as the top written brief of the tournament.
The Stetson International Environmental Moot Court competition is the world’s largest moot court competition devoted exclusively to environmental issues. As a student in the Environment and Society program, I have been able to apply some of the concepts and material I am learning in class to the case and use my knowledge to strengthen my arguments”, noted Emily Green.
The International Round of the competition is set for April.
