Congratulations to the both HMCE Trademark teams who competed in the Western Regional Rounds of the 21st Annual Saul Lefkowitz Moot Court Competition on Saturday, February 11th at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit in San Francisco. This competition is sponsored by the INTA (International Trademark Association). SCU fielded two teams, one consisting of competitors Sebnem Kimyacioglu and Martin Kopp, and the second team comprising competitors Jacob Vigil and Christopher Creech.
Both teams were extremely impressive during their oral rounds. Jacob Vigil and Christopher Creech took First Place and will be representing SCU Law and the Western Region at the Finals in Washington D.C. at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit on March 17. This is the first time SCU Law has won Regionals and will be attending the Lefkowitz Finals! The HMCE competition manager was Shyla Jones. Both teams were coached by SCU alum Jeremiah Armstrong from McDermott, Will & Emery in Menlo Park.
