The annual Florida-Georgia Hulsey-Gambrell Moot Court Competition will be called to order at 9:30 a.m. Oct. 29 at the Bryan Simpson U.S. Courthouse in Jacksonville.
The event pits law students from the University of Florida and the University of Georgia against each other in the courtroom the day before the universities face each other on the football field.
With Chief U.S. District Judge of the Middle District of Florida Timothy Corrigan presiding, the panel this year includes U.S. District Judges Marcia Morales Howard and Brian Davis representing the Middle District of Florida and U.S. District Judges Lisa Godbey Wood and Stan Baker representing the Southern District of Georgia.
This year’s competitors from the University of Florida are third-year law students Jillian Carver and Kyle Forges, joined by law school Dean Laura Rosenbury.
Third-year law students Olivia Landrum and Roya Naghepour, joined by law school Dean Bo Rutledge, will represent the University of Georgia.
After oral arguments are heard on hypothetical cases, deliberations are scheduled to begin at 11 a.m., followed by a discussion of the competition by the panel of judges.
Court will adjourn before presentation of the Hulsey-Gambrell Trophy, which will reside at the winning school for the next year.
