Touro Moot Court Team Places in National Contest; Edged by Duke

Central Islip, N.Y. – The Touro Law Center Moot Court Board team of Christine Quigley, Dustin Collins and Mili Makhijani took second place in the Regent University School of Law 6th Annual National Constitutional Law Moot Court Competition, held this past weekend in Virginia Beach, Virginia.  The Touro trio beat out competitors from twenty-five law schools around the country, narrowly losing in the finals to a team from Duke University School of Law.  The competition was based on a complex problem involving elements of Criminal Procedure, Evidence and Constitutional Law.  The team was coached by Professors Myra Berman and Patricia Rooney and third-year student Justin Feinman.  Ms. Quigley and Mr. Collins are part-time evening students.
