LAMBDA
We are excited to officially announce that the Lambdas will be organizing and supporting up to two teams at this year’s Williams Institute Moot Court Competition. This is not Chicago-Kent’s first time competing at the Williams Institute Competition—our very own Professor Cherish Keller, Chicago-Kent alumna, won the first ever Competition in 2005.
Thankfully, with support from alumni, the Lambdas, Professor Keller and the Moot Court Honor Society, and the teams’ faculty sponsor Professor Shapiro, we have been able to launch this new tradition.
If you would like to apply for a spot, please email your resume, a one-page personal statement, and a writing sample (e.g. your 1L appellate brief) to Professor Keller at ckellerschick by 12pm on Friday, October 25. We will then make offers to selected finalists by Friday, November 1.
Thank you, and good luck to all applicants!
