SPECIAL EDITION
May and June Explode with Events
The UW School of Law will host a mock trial competition presided over by Judge
John C. Coughenour to determine the Best Oral Advocate award recipient. The
mock trial will take place from 1 to 5 pm in Room 138. The John C. Coughenour Best
Oral Advocate Award was created in 2007 by family, friends, former law clerks
and colleagues of Judge Coughenour to honor his move to senior status on the
U.S. District Court and to celebrate his twenty-five years of service on the
federal bench. This annual award honors Judge Coughenour’s dedication to
improving the quality of trial practice, his commitment to trial lawyering and
his many years teaching trial advocacy at the UW School of Law. Please
register
to attend the trial competition, reception, or both!

School of Law’s Moot Court Honor Board will moderate, and Judge Randolph will

before the U.S. Supreme Court.
