Alicia Welch was named champion of the 38th Annual Morris B. Myerowitz Moot Court Competition, whose final round took place March 14 in the School of Law's Ceremonial Courtroom. This year’s problem was based on Morse v. Frederick – the "Bong Hits 4 Jesus" case – which is scheduled for oral argument in the Supreme Court on March 19.

The competition is a prestigious contest, consisting of a written brief and four rounds of appellate argument on a written competition problem. Previous winners of the competition include Federal District Court Judge Andre M. Davis, Maryland Court of Special Appeals Judge Deborah Eyler, and U.S. Magistrate Judge Jillyn K. Schulze.
