The Lincoln Memorial University (LMU) Duncan School of Law is hosting its first moot court intramural competition this year in honor of alumnus Matthew B. Long. The competition will serve as the tryout for rising second-year students to join the school’s moot court team. The competition is named for Long, who died in 2020 at the age of 37. He was a member of the school’s inaugural class in 2013 and competed on the moot court team, winning awards for brief writing. In related news, LMU Law students also competed in the ABA’s National Appellate Advocacy Competition and won recognition for their briefs and oral advocacy. Of note, McKenzie Wilson was the school’s first ever 2L to compete as an oral advocate while the 3L team advanced past the preliminary rounds to be named regional quarterfinalists.
