I was honored to speak today at this year’s National Rounds of the Philip C. Jessup International Law Moot Court Competition. As I urged the participants, this competition is not merely a test of their legal acumen and argumentative prowess, it is a platform for them to cultivate invaluable attributes such as teamwork, perseverance, and integrity. The competition stands as a beacon of excellence in legal education, fostering the development of critical thinking and advocacy skills among our nation’s brightest and rising legal professionals.
