The 32nd Annual National Telecommunications and Technology Moot Court Competition, hosted by The Catholic University of America Columbus School of Law, and its renowned Law and Technology Institute, brought together an extraordinary collaboration with Catholic Law's Moot Court Association and the Federal Communications Bar Association (FCBA - The Tech Bar). Held in Washington, DC, this year’s competition featured 12 teams from 10 schools, exploring the complexities of administrative law and the evolving contributors to the Universal Service Fund.
The Final Round was nothing short of electrifying, thanks to our esteemed judges:

- Angie Kronenberg – President and CEO, Sligo Solutions LLC
- Matt DelNero – President, FCBA & Partner, Covington & Burling LLP
Their incisive questions and dynamic engagement made for a "hot bench" that kept competitors on their toes. Ultimately, the Cavaliers from the University of Virginia School of Law, Fayth Wisehart and Victoria Kelly, emerged victorious, earning 1st Place. A huge congratulations to the 2nd Place team from South Texas College of Law Houston, Rachel Giedraitis and Makayla Arthur, with Makayla also taking home the Best Oralist award.
