ABA Law Student Negotiation Competition

I recently had the pleasure of serving as a judge in the New England regional round of the American Bar Association Law Student Negotiation Competition, which was held at Boston University School of Law. It was evident that all of the students had worked hard in preparing for the competition, and we saw some skilled lawyers-to-be in action.

The top four teams--which will go on to the national competition--were:

1st Place – Boston College--Rob Hatfield and Michael Rohr;
2nd Place – Boston College--Kate Billman-Golemme and Kelly McLaughlin;
3rd Place – Suffolk--Brandon Ruotolo and Ann Brown; and,
4th Place – Western New England--Paul Buono and Daniel Terek.

Congratulation to these teams, and good luck in the nationals.
