WestConn Moot Court Earns National Recognition

The American Moot Court Association, the national organization governing collegiate moot court competitions, has released its latest rankings (Spring 2026)—and WestConn Moot Court has once again earned national distinction. For only the second time in the program’s history, WestConn was ranked among the top moot court programs in the country, placing 30th nationwide.

This season was particularly strong for WestConn’s brief‑writing team, which achieved an even higher national ranking of 26th, outperforming many programs whose oral advocates advanced to the national championship tournament.

These rankings reflect the exceptional skill, preparation, and dedication of our students, who rank among the finest collegiate advocates in the nation.

Brief Writers
Levi Burger, Adrienne Shecora, Patrick Keegan, Minhee Mok

Oral Advocates
Grace Parkosewich, Julia Meadows, Yaritza Santana‑Jimenez, Justin Shapiro, Gianna Ruby‑DaSilva, Olivia Burroughs, Alexa Jones, and Minhee Mok (who competed in both roles)

WestConn is proud of these outstanding achievements and the continued growth of its Moot Court program.
