Congratulations to University of Georgia School of Law students Dustin M. Batchelor (J.D. ’26), Grace K. Johnson (J.D. ’26), Marion Kronauge (J.D. ’26), Morgan Pfohl (J.D. ’26), and Ellis Schmitt (J.D. ’26) for winning the East Coast regional of the Philip C.

During the tournament, they beat teams from Harvard University and American University and will now advance to the international tier of the competition later this month. Georgia Law students Joseph “Joe” Colley (J.D. ’25) and Brennan Rose (J.D. ’25) served as student coaches, while J. Caleb Grant (J.D. ’23) served as the alumni coach.

The Jessup competition is the world’s largest moot court tournament that typically fields teams from roughly 700 law schools in 100 countries and jurisdictions around the globe. Georgia Law’s past performances in Jessup competitions can be found here.
