Colorado Law congratulates this year’s winners of the Rothgerber Moot Court competition. The respondents’ team of Abe Alexander, Grant Sullivan, and Mike Wautlett were victorious over the petitioners’ team of Courtney Kramer, Cash Parker, and Patrick Thiessen for the Best Team Award. Wautlett won the Austin W. Scott Best Oralist award. The competition was presided over by Judge John Webb, attorney Richard Schaden, and Professor Pat Furman. The case involved issues similar to those recently argued before the U.S. Supreme Court. The Moot Court case asked whether a law allowing guns to be registered lawfully only for law enforcement officers violates Second Amendment right to “keep and bear” arms. A second issue was whether the Federal Aviation Administration Authorization Act, which prohibits states from regulating transportation of property, preempted a state’s attempt to regulate delivery of ammunition.
