University of Virginia law students Anne Malinee and Kristin Millay won the 83rd annual William Minor Lile Moot Court Competition, which involves written briefs and mock arguments before real federal appeals court judges. The pair competed against fellow third-year law students James Kaiser and Katie Beye. Over the past two years, 163 law students participated in the competition, long considered the premiere event at the Law School testing students' litigation skills. Federal appellate judges Eugene E. Siler Jr. '63 of the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, D. Brooks Smith of the 3rd Circuit and Debra A. Livingston of the 2nd Circuit judged the competition and offered a critique of the students' performance after issuing their ruling.
