Charles S. Desmond Moot Court Competition
October 24-28, 2011

SUNY Buffalo Law School is proud to announce the results of the 2011 Charles S. Desmond Moot Court Competition. Law students Corey R. Forster '13 and Frank H. Ewing '12 were this year's overall winners. The runner-up was Christopher S. Safulko '13. While most students compete in pairs dividing the two key legal issues in the case, Safulko argued both of the legal issues by himself.

Organized by the Law School's Buffalo Moot Court Board, the Desmond competition is one of the most popular courtroom competitions the Law School offers. This year's competition took place October 24-28 at the Law School. The final Desmond round was judged in the Law School's Francis M. Letro Courtroom by Hon. Eugene F. Pigott, Jr. '73, Associate Judge of the New York State Court of Appeals; Hon. Erin M. Peradotto '84, Associate Justice of the New York State Supreme Court, Appellate Division, Fourth Department; and Hon. Jeremiah J. McCarthy, U.S. Magistrate Judge of the Western District of New York.
