A team of students from Windsor Law is celebrating their successes this past weekend at the Great Lakes Mediation Moot in Ann Arbor, where they received awards as top mediator team and top advocate.
Members of the team—Matt Dunnett, Amanda Fowler and Jennifer Querney, led by coaches Gerri Wong and Kaitlyn McCabe—took turns acting as lawyer, client and co-mediator.
A first-place finish at the Wilson Moot, this past weekend at the Federal Court facility in Toronto, is a significant accomplishment for the University of Windsor, says law professor Donna Marie Eansor.
Eansor, the faculty supervisor and coach, invites the campus community to join her in congratulating team members Daniel DiFonso, Shaun Hashim, Heather MacIvor and Justin Reid.
Besides a first overall team standing, the Windsor contingent tied for second place for best facta and MacIvor received the top oralist prize.
