GW Triumphs Again
The trophy is back in Washington and three is a charm. For the third time, George Washington University Law School fielded the talented team that conquered the world in the Manfred Lachs Space Law Moot Court Competition.As I noted here, George Washington won the first-ever space moot in 1992 in Washington DC, and came back to win it again in 2005 in Fukuoka, Japan.
Congratulations from SLP to 2007 moot court galactic gladiators Magin Puig Monsen (J.D. '06, LL.M. '07) and D.J. Western (LL.M. '07) on prevailing in Emeralda v Mazonia ("The Case Concerning International Liability"). Space moot counsel, pictured here, took their skills and legal scholarship to the exciting world finals last week in Hyderabad, India and brought back the gleaming trophy.
