Elliott Bell (’16), Barrett Bowdre (’16), Grant Luiken (’16), Logan Matthews (’16), Caitlyn Prichard (’16) and Angela Selvaggio (’16) competed for Alabama in the ABA National Appellate Advocacy Competition. These two teams competed with 30 other teams in the Philadelphia regional. About 190 teams compete in this elite ABA program nationally.
For two years in a row, Alabama was the only law school that had two teams advance to the regional finals. The team of Matthews, Prichard and Luiken won a unanimous final round decision and will advance to the national finals in Chicago in April. The team of Bell, Bowdre and Selvaggio lost a close 3-2 vote in the final round against Texas. Bell was voted the sixth best advocate of the more than 90 advocates who competed. The two Alabama teams were coached by Professor Carol Andrews and supported by Moot Court Fellows, Eunji Jo (’17), Briana Knox (’17), and Mary Lauren Kulovitz (’17).
