We are pleased to announce the culmination of another successful year for Penn Marshall-Brennan in our annual Moot Court Competition on February 11th.

High Schools across the city will be using legal skills learned throughout the year to argue a first amendment case against their peers and in front of law student judges.  For the finals, we are pleased to announce that Judges Pollak, Pratter and Jones from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania will be giving their valuable time to create an exciting opportunity for our two finalists.

We would like to acknowledge the help of our Board and Fellows for their excellent work through the year.
