Congratulations to the WVU College of Law Representation in Mediation
Team!
On March 2nd and 3rd, a West Virginia University
College of Law Alternative Dispute Resolution Team went to Buffalo, New York,
to compete in the regional ABA Section of Dispute Resolution’s Representation
in Mediation Competition. This region included the University of New York at
Buffalo School of Law, Cornell Law School, Quinnipiac University School of Law,
St. John’s University School of Law, Western New England University School of
Law, and Roger Williams University School of Law. All but one other school sent
multiple teams against our one. Our team ranked first after the end of two
rounds on the first day. Then we defeated Quinnipiac University School of Law
in the finals. Our team will move on to the nationals in Chicago, Illinois, in
April and face regional champions from all over the United States.
Please congratulate Jaime Ritton and Abbe Klezer for their hard
work and commitment! The ADR Society and our winners would also like to thank
Camron Tenney and Anthony Nortz for their hard work in training against Ms.
Ritton and Ms. Klezer. In addition, we would like to extend a special thank you
to the coaches and support staff: Professor Tom Patrick, Monica Haddad, Esq.,
Professor Patricia Lee, Ashlee Preece, and Alicia Lauderman.
