The competition, which will take place in Kresge Auditorium from 4 to 5:30 p.m., is free and open to the public.
The hypothetical case to be argued Bain v. Moore will involve student-to-student sexual harassment and its implications under Title IX and the Violence Against Women Act. Third-year students Leslie Hatamiya and Laura Bradford will argue for the petitioner and Fred Karem and Matthew Shors, both second-year students, will argue for the respondent. Also presiding will be Judge Edward Leavy, U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit, and Justice James Ware, U.S. District Court, Northern District of California.
