UAlberta mooters with the Alberta Challenge Cup.

The University of Alberta Faculty of Law hosted the 2016 Alberta Court of Appeal Moot on March 11-12 at the Law Centre, welcoming our friends from the University of Calgary for the annual Alberta Challenge Cup. With a "two moots to one" victory, the home team won the moot and the Alberta Challenge Cup is now back at the Law Centre for the first time since 2012.
Congratulations to the U of A team:
Criminal Moot: Sarah Denholm and Randell Trombley; Coach Mandy Kahlmeier (Alberta Justice)
Constitutional Moot: John Minkley and Joey Redman; Coach Phil Lister
Civil Moot: Grayson Bateyko and Mark Keohane; Coaches Jeremiah Kowalchuk and Leah McDaniel (Field LLP)
