Herman Stern Moot Court Competition, in which students new to Temple’s prestigious Moot Court Competition Team complete their first year by arguing an issue currently before Pennsylvania’s appellate courts. Each year, advocates enrolled in Temple Law’s Moot Court Program research, brief, and argue an actual appellate case file in preliminary rounds of the Stern competition. The final four competitors go head-to-head in oral arguments before a distinguished panel of judges. This year, advocates will argue a Fourth Amendment issue currently before the Pennsylvania Supreme Court: whether a person’s temporal and spatial proximity to a ShotSpotter alert constitutes reasonable suspicion to justify a Terry stop. The winners of the Stern competition earn roles on the Competition team as oral advocates, written advocates, or both.
The panel for this year’s final round, which includes the Hon. Ellen Ceisler Law ’86 of the Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania; the Hon. Carolyn Nichols Law ’85, LL.M. ’94 of the Superior Court of Pennsylvania; and the Hon. Megan Sullivan Law ’01 of the Superior Court of Pennsylvania will offer competitors a challenging and prestigious forum to showcase their appellate advocacy skills.
