BLSA Thurgood Marshall Moot Court Team Earned History-Making Victories
Our 2021-22 CSU C|M|LAW Black Law Students Association (BLSA) Thurgood Marshall Moot Court Team members were the first and third place winners of the 2022 Thurgood Marshall Midwest Regional Moot Court Competition held in St. Louis, Missouri. The victories mark the fifth consecutive year that our BLSA Thurgood Marshall Team has won the Midwest Regional Competition. Additionally, this is the first time that our BLSA Chapter will be sending two C|M|LAW Thurgood Marshall Teams to nationals.
Robert Dinkins (2L) and Abby Stout (2L) defeated DePaul University College of Law for first place. Brandy Davis (3LE) and Jeff Andrews (2L) overcame Loyola University Chicago School of Law for third place. Dalya Oprian (2L) played an integral role in the success as the teams’ coordinator. The students’ hard work was supported by our outstanding alumni coaches Theo Hudson '12, Risk Review Group Senior Lead Consumer Compliance Audit at Key Bank, Emily Stolfer '17, Associate at Tsilimos, Dolesh, and Pena, LLC, and Jasmine Taylor '19, Health & Life Sciences Associate at Tucker Ellis, LLP, all of whom competed successfully when they were students at C|M|LAW.

Crimmigrators Thursday, February 24 | 5:00 p.m. | In-person Juliet Stumpf, the Robert E. Jones Professor of Advocacy and Ethics at Lewis & Clark Law School
Since the events of September 11, 2001, crimmigration scholars around the world have uncovered the use of seemingly ordinary powers to accomplish extraordinary things: mass deportation, surveillance, policing, and detention and incarceration, in ways that globally change the shape of migration. While the study of crimmigration usually dissects its elements and the powers that animate it, we miss a critical question if we ignore who is tasked to use those powers. The decision about who will decide a crimmigration issue can shape the decision itself, and confine or define its resolution.
