Ames Moot Court Competition 2022
This year’s Ames Moot Court Competition teams sparred over Article III judicial power in the hypothetical case, Ames County Board of Commissioners v. Energon U.S.A.
This year's presiding judges were Sri Srinivasan of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit; Britt Grant of the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit; and Rowan Wilson ’84 of the New York Court of Appeals.
The Lani Guinier Memorial Team members (Petitioner):
Daniel Ergas ’23, Gillian Hannahs ’23, Emily Hatch ’23, Samantha Neal ’23*, Sierra Polston ’23*, and Natalie Tsang ’23.
The Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg Memorial Team (Respondent):
Pauline Esman ’23, Justin Fishman ’23, Connor Haaland ’23, Samantha Ilagan ’23*, Nikolas Paladino ’23*, and Lincoln Plews ’23

The Ames Moot Court Competition is one of the most prestigious competitions for appellate brief writing and advocacy in the country. The students participating in the Final Round started the competition in fall of their 2L year. Two teams progressed to the Final Round through their strong research abilities and excellent written and oral advocacy.

That’s cool and all but did they know the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell?
What I can say is that, the submission by Ms Hoogan was phenomenal, the way she structured here argument and also citing relevant statute and case law simultaneously was worth the salt.

She was pure brilliance
The best oralist truly deserved that, i knew from the moment she started making her arguments that she was confident and correct in her deliveries and advocacy. Both teams did a great job.
This is fucking horrifying. I thought giving my chemistry senior thesis was the worst thing imaginable because I'd shit my pants standing before these highly esteemed legal experts
This video just cured my insomnia.I guess a putting together a bunch of words to form nonsensical sentences initially put me into a trance and I passed out not too long after. Thank you! Better than any medication and a more natural way to defeat insomnia.
This school is my dream school, and the arguments were so well put, and the candidates were beyond confident. It amazes me! Good luck for the future.
These videos are so interesting to me and I am not even an attorney or law student.
I hav been waiting for this for some days.
I don’t know the other two but Sri Srinivasan should have been a lock for the Supreme Court.

Obama was picking between him and merrick Harland to replace Scalia. Srinivasan would have been a truly bipartisan pick as he clerked for conservative judges but served in a Democratic administration

what a legend
No Court!
nice good for my prep
Has to always be there’s three reasons- always the case lol Seems the first oralist is also the winner for best oralist as always. The rest won’t get the prize. So if u on the second or third oralist and so on means highly unlikely u not the best one!
Who knows the account of first one?

See 1991 Harvard moot...u will be impressed.

Conflict of laws case :the situs choice of law is usually (the aggregate of ) the totality of the contacts. Place of incorporation, physical location of the origin of the alleged harm, and site of the injury. Diversity of citizenship effects choice of forum , federal or state jurisdiction . Lots of old cases like Worldwide Volkswagen are similar , Interstate vs intrastate commerce . Thorny issues of standing ,jurisdiction, tort , and causality. As usual in moot court competitions one side had the better argument on standing jurisdiction , the other on substantive ( tort ) law. But, did the judges render an advisory opinion?
She strives to appear affected to address an issue under a statute that justifies a course of action.

The problem of the oil company and global warming does not concern one American state with another, but concerns the world and all human beings on all parts of the globe, and I believe the solution Instead of imposing a tax or compensation on it, every oil company in the whole world That the oil companies be required to designate a financial fund to start using modern technology in reducing the risk of emissions that affect the climate and health
@hassansalih3661

Opinion The real problem is that, as the first speaker said, there is no evidence or way to measure harm. That is redundant Because the damage is measured by the direct causal relationship by technicians with specialization from climate change scientists and statisticians, and when the case is transferred to them, the opinion of the court almost ends, and the opinion of the court remains formal, and the opinion and decision of the court are the decision of the technicians in the phenomenon of global warming For artists, the damage is clear, and repeating the crime of climate pollution is an ongoing crime

My dear, if you go back to my first comment and suggest that every oil company be required to create a financial fund in order to use modern technology in order to stop the phenomenon of pollution, and this is possible, not taxes, because taxes solve an immediate crisis and do not solve the crisis at the future level He stressed that the crime of pollution is a crime that transcends borders and falls within the law of varicose veins, and because the law of varicose veins is different, this crisis remains from one year to the next. And the question that arises, does the crisis have a solution? Yes, it is found by means of modern technology, for example, the gas associated with oil is burned and bliss. And thank you for the harsh words that she said (you do not understand) and he confirmed that I understand you
