Awards and achievement demonstrate academic excellence. Regent Law prides itself on its students’ achievements in competitions with other law students across the country. Here’s a snapshot of where Regent Law has won national recognition in the past few years:

• In 2002, the School of Law earned the Best Brief award at the ABA’s National Appellate Advocacy Competition.
• In 2003, Regent students won William & Mary’s William B. Spong, Jr. Moot Court Tournament and the Federal Bar Association’s Thurgood Marshall Moot Court Competition.
• In 2004, Regent students advanced from regional rounds to the national finals in the ABA’s National Appellate Advocacy and Advocacy Through Mediation Competitions.
• In 2005, Regent teams advanced to the semi-finals of the BMI/Cardozo Moot Court Competition and the Washington D.C. Regional Round of the National Appellate Advocacy Competition; another Regent student won the second place oralist award at Seton Hall’s John J. Gibbons Criminal Procedure Moot Court Competition.
• In 2006, a team of Regent Law students won the ABA’s National Appellate Advocacy Competition, winning the moot court contest and placing first for the nation’s Best Brief. 
• In 2007, two Regent Law students went head to head with 219 other teams from the nation’s top law schools to take first place in the prestigious American Bar Association (ABA) National Negotiation Competition, the second consecutive national win for Regent Law.
• In 2008, The Regent University School of Law Moot Court Team recently took first place honors in the William B. Spong National Moot Court Tournament sponsored by the College of William & Mary School of Law.

The connection is clear: Regent’s investment in facilities and programs developing writing, negotiation, trial and appellate advocacy skills yields law students who perform when and where it counts.
