Bravo Moot Court Team!
Officially established in Spring 2021, the Undergraduate Moot Court Team at Berkeley, an AMCA (American Moot Court Association) certified team, competed in their first official season this past weekend at the following regional tournaments:
1. South Atlantic Regional at the University of Central Florida, November 13-14, 2021
WON by co-counsel pair: Ty Stillerman and Megan Cistulli (qualified for nationals)
2. South Central Regional, Texas Tech University School of Law, November 12-13, 2021

3. Windy City Regional at Loyola University School of Law, November 12-13, 2021
Top 16 co-counsel pair: Stephen Saw and Sam Ratcliffe
4. Cleveland-Marshall School of Law, November 19-20, 2021
TBD as co-counsel pair Bailey Henderson and Stephen Dai have yet to compete; Noah Kim will also be competing at this tournament on a hybrid team (i.e., he will be partnered with a student from another school).
Top 10 Oral Advocacy Awardees:
Tiffany Chiang
Ty Stillerman
Megan Cistulli
Ayanna Bediako
Top 15 Oral Advocacy Awardees:
Sam Ratcliffe
The Moot Court team at Cal faced top, nationally ranked moot court teams from Yale, UChicago, Patrick Henry, Cal State Long Beach, and the like.
To date, UC Berkeley is sending two teams, Ty Stillerman (Cal senior) & Megan Cistulli (Cal senior) and Sarah Zhang (Cal sophomore) & Aayush Singh (Cal sophomore), to nationals for oral advocacy which will occur at the end of January 2022.
The entire team will be competing in the nation brief writing competition which will occur in mid-December 2021.
Because of the Undergraduate Moot Court Team’s unprecedented success thus far, they should be nationally ranked once rankings are released later this year.
