The Grimes Moot Court Competition will be coming to a dramatic conclusion this afternoon when the finals are held at 4 p.m. in East Wing room 115 today (April 21).  The final round of competition will be between Ali Russell & Josh Lindsay (Petitioner) and Jenna Bergamo & Emily Moellers (Respondent). The panel of judges for the finals will consist of the Hon. Bruce Selya from the 1st Circuit, Hon. Michael Mosman from D. OR, and Hon. Maureen McKenna from the R.I. Supreme Court.  The final round of the competition is open to the public.  Everyone is welcome to come watch the competition, although we ask that you please be respectful of the advocates as they deliver their oral argument.  A reception will follow the conclusion of the competition in Barat House.  Details on the Moot Court problem are provided after the jump.

The following was submitted by Frank Zonars, a candidate for LSA Secretary.

It’s almost decision time, and the tone of the election is becoming more serious.  Here is a short post directed at those students who value substance over hilarity:

Secretary’s Role

Under the LSA Bylaws, the Secretary circulates new amendments to the bylaws (Bylaw 103(c)-(d)), prepares documents for meetings (Bylaw 204(b)(3)-(4)), and publishes legislation for the student body to view (Bylaw 204(b)(6)).  Important…but bo-ring.

I think the Secretary should be more than just a record-keeper; He should act as a liaison between the student body and the LSA leadership.

Eagleionline received the following statement from Frank Zonars, Candidate for Law Students Association (LSA) Secretary. Eagleionline thanks Frank for his submission (and Dylan Hayre and Peter Foundas before him), and encourages all candidates to post their press releases, platforms, links to Facebook pages, advertisements and the like on Eagleionline to help the student body make a more informed choice about their elected representatives during the 2010-11 academic year. 

I’m Frank Zonars and I ask for your vote this week for LSA Secretary!

If you DO care about the LSA, read my statement:

I want every student at BCLS to feel that they have a voice.  As an undergrad I felt disconnected from my university, and I don’t want my classmates at BC to feel that way.  Even though most of us are more concerned with exams and finding jobs than the LSA, all students should feel that they can have a voice in the day-to-day life of the law school.

As a 1L rep, I strove to make sure that Section 2’s voice was heard.  I was proud to be involved in

Eagleionline received the following statement from Peter Foundas, Candidate for Law Students Association (LSA) Treasurer.

My name is Peter Foundas and I hope to serve the BC Law community next year as Treasurer of the LSA. Basically the Treasurer is responsible for insuring all LSA funds are being spent appropriately. However in addition to that I see the position as one that presents a unique opportunity to not only insure transparency as to how the LSA spends its money, but also to hold the administration accountable to the students, the real stakeholders in the school, as to how the school allocates its resources. I want to work with next year’s board to insure every dollar of tuition is being spent wisely, and to marshal all the resources of the LSA to help keep BC Law attractive to employers from all fields: big firms, public interest and government.

I have had the privilege as serving as
