NEWSWORTHY NOTES

CONGRATULATIONS to Sarah Fulton, Laura Hopkins, Dan Kruger, and Amy Markopoulos who won the second International Virtual Moot Court Competition. Five Australian law schools and W&M competed against each other via video conferencing. W&M argued at night from the McGlothlin Courtroom while the Australian schools competed in their morning. The problem concerned an invasion of a Second Life company

meeting by a person using a avatar costumed as a misbehaving pirate. The incident was then posted to the web. Claiming copyright invasion, the president of the company holding the meeting sought to have the video pulled from the defendant’s server. Our four person team competed in two-person teams and won both preliminary rounds. Amy and Dan argued in the finals, winning against Bond University. On Wednesday evening, Professors Trotter Hardy, Laura Heymann, and Rebecca Hulse sat as the panel of arbitrators; judging two Australian teams. W&M’s part of the competition was organized and supported by the Center for Legal and Court Technology. CONGRATULATIONS to the 1L class for participating in their first SBA election! It was a tremendous success. The Class of 2010 has shown incredible initiative in this election cycle. The following individuals will serve as the 1L SBA Representatives for the 2007-08 school year: Meezan Qayumi, Chris Rey and Zack DeMeola In addition, the 1L class raised $130 for the Twin Tower Orphan Fund, in remembrance of 9-11. Great work!

CONGRATULATIONS to Ryan Brady (3L) and his wife, Caroline, or the birth of their son, Jonas. CONGRATULATIONS to Junaid Ahmad (3L) on being selected President, of the National Muslim Law Students Law School Association (NMLSA). Junaid competed against candidates from all the other big Ivy League law schools. Needless to say, we are very proud of him.

SCHOLAR DISCUSSES PROS AND CONS - On Thursday, September 20, 2007, University of Alabama Law Professor Alfred Brophy will speak on the topic, “Considering a University Apology for Slavery: The Case of William & Mary President Thomas R. Dew.” Co-sponsored by the Student Division of the Institute of Bill of Rights Law, the William & Mary Bill of Rights Journal, and the Black Law Students Association, the presentation will begin at 3:30 p.m. at the Law School. IT IS FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. A question-and-answer period and a reception will follow. Earlier this year, the Virginia Legislature became the first state legislature in the nation to issue an official apology for slavery. Currently, legislative bodies throughout the nation are debating whether to issue their own apologies. Earlier this month, in an emotional speech, the mayor of London issued a historic apology for slavery. Professor Brophy will discuss the controversy over slavery and apologies generally, the stark divide along racial lines on this issue, and some of the moral issues on either side. He will also discuss the College of William & Mary’s connections to slavery – in particular, Thomas R. Dew, William & Mary’s president in the 1830s-1840s. Dew is the author of, among other works, “Review of the Debates in the Virginia Legislature,” one of the most reprinted arguments on slavery in the years leading into Civil War.
