Congratulations to ÃÛÌÒ½´Law Moot Court Team and Coaches ÃÛÌÒ½´Law alums Rebecca Neumann and G. Adrian Galvan!
March 12-13, 2021, ÃÛÌÒ½´Dedman School of Law won first place overall in the Frank A. Schreck Gaming Law Moot Court Competition hosted by UNLV William S. Boyd School of Law. Twenty-eight teams competed with only eight teams advancing from the two preliminary rounds. Representing ÃÛÌÒ½´were three 2Ls—Nicholas Curley, Tyler Freeman, and Andrew Killian—competing for their first time. The semi-final and final round judges included members of the Nevada Gaming Board and the Nevada Gaming Commission, some of whom wrote the very regulations at issue in the problem. The problem consisted of a Fifth Amendment self-incrimination issue, and an administrative deference and preemption issue within the context of the gaming industry. The team was coached by ÃÛÌÒ½´Dedman Alumni Rebecca Neumann and G. Adrian Galván.
