Earlier this month, the University of Georgia School of Law finished in the top 32 teams out of 805 total teams representing 104 jurisdictions in the 2025 Philip C. Jessup International Law Moot Court Competition. This year’s team included students Dustin Batchelor (J.D. ’26), Grace Johnson (J.D. ’26), Marion Kronauge (J.D. ’26), Morgan Pfohl (J.D. ’26), and Ellis Schmitt (J.D. ’26). Jessup is the world’s largest moot court competition, bringing together students from across the globe to engage with pressing international legal challenges.

Georgia Law’s team advanced to the international rounds after winning the East Coast regional earlier this semester. Johnson and Schmitt also tied for ninth place in the individual oralist rankings.

Third-year students Joseph Colley, Katherine Lewis, and Brennan Rose served as student coaches, and Caleb Grant (J.D. ’23) served as alumni coach.
