Arguing a case before three distinguished jurists was “a privilege and deeply insightful experience,” said Briana Fernald ’23, after she and Jayda Cruz ’23 won the 2020 Alva P. Loiselle Moot Court Competition at the UConn School of Law.
The finals of the annual competition, which gives first-year law students a chance to practice courtroom skills, was held virtually on March 4, 2021. The judges were Justice Gregory D’Auria ’88 of the Connecticut Supreme Court, Judge Nina Elgo of the Connecticut Appellate Court, and retired Judge Michael Sheldon of the Connecticut Appellate Court.
