Speakers for this potluck are Amelia Ruiz-Fischer with Texas Civil Rights Project to talk about her work battling Secure Communities and Dal Ruggles to talk about the realities of handling criminal court appointments (adult, juvenile, and appellate) as part of a private practice.

On behalf of the Board of Advocates and the Gibbs & Bruns Moot Court Tournament, we'd like to invite you to attend the final round to be held at 1:30 on Friday, November 8th, in the Eidman Courtroom. Gibbs & Bruns has kindly provided experienced attorneys to judge the round, and we plan to have a small reception afterwards to allow students the opportunity to chat with them and enjoy some treats. We will also be announcing the winners of the best oral advocate and best memorandum prizes.

Finals will be David Lindsay vs. Richard Smith.

This year's tournament has been based on an actual Texas Supreme Court case, Hamrick v. Ward, which centers on the the issue of whether there is a continuing necessity requirement for easements implied by prior use.

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