We were thrilled to hear arguments from 40 participants in virtual arbitration hearings over the course of the week. Congratulations to our winners Jacob Berman and Christian Bekking and runners-up Jordan Kazan Baigrie and Ashley Landesman. They consistently displayed outstanding advocacy in each round of the competition. We would like to thank our arbitrators for their participation in this year’s inaugural event. We look forward to hosting this event again next year!
