February 14: Cleveland - 45th Annual Moot Court Night: Appellate Advocacy Seminar #MCLE

UPDATE: This event was postponed due to weather conditions on February 5, 2014 and has been rescheduled  to Wednesday, February 12. 2014.
The Cleveland-Marshall Moot Court Team will be hosting this year’s annual Moot Court Night on February 14, 2014, from 6:00-7:30 PM in the Moot Court Room. This year’s Moot Court Night will feature a team composed of third-year students, Caitlin Hill, Amanda Martin, and Justin Stevenson. They will be arguing both sides of Conestoga Wood Specialties Corporation v. Sebelius, a case from the Third Circuit on which the Supreme Court recently granted certiorari, along with its companion case, Hobby Lobby v. Sebelius.
The issues involve whether Petitioners, a for-profit corporation and its owners, have standing to assert claims for injunctive relief under the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment and the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, and whether Petitioners will have a likelihood of success on those claims. Petitioners claim that the Women’s Preventative Healthcare Regulations under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act violate their free exercise of religion by requiring them to buy insurance that provides health care services to their female employees that would include emergency contraceptives such as Plan B and Ella.
The presiding judges will include the Honorable Nathanial R. Jones, a Judge from the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, along with the Honorable Donald C. Nugent and the Honorable Benita Y. Pearson, both of whom are currently judges on the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio. The judges will provide a detailed critique of each student-advocate’s performance, zeroing in on what was effective and what was not effective. The judges will also take questions from the audience concerning the finer points of appellate advocacy.
