On behalf of the Board of Advocates and the Gibbs & Bruns Moot Court Tournament, I’d like to invite you to the Gibbs & Bruns Moot Court Final round to be held at 2:30pm, November 2nd, in the Eidman Courtroom. Gibbs & Bruns has kindly provided experienced attorneys to judge the round, who will be hanging around afterwards to chat with students.

This year’s tournament has been based on an actual Texas Supreme Court case, Case No. 12-0047, scheduled for oral argument early next year. The case involves a dispute between a dog’s owner, an animal shelter, and the calculation of damages upon the untimely euthanization of the family pet.

We hope you will be able to join us and support the competitors!

Sincerely,

David Marcou
