McGlinchey Sponsors Competition at Ole Miss Law School

April 13, 2007

The law firm of McGlinchey Stafford sponsored today the McGlinchey Stafford Oral Advocacy Competition held annually at the University of Mississippi School of Law. The competition began with sixteen contestants and ended in a tie between the two finalists in the final round. The well-prepared contestants argued a very complex immigration issue before The Honorable Kay Cobb of the Mississippi Supreme Court, The Honorable Jerry A. Davis of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Mississippi and The Honorable Charles E. Pazar of the Immigration Court in the final round of the competition. After the tie was announced by Justice Cobb, the winners – Betty Dintelman and Andrew Coffman – received ultimate accolades from all three judges.

Following the competition, lawyers from the Jackson, Mississippi office of McGlinchey Stafford hosted a reception at the Downtown Grill in Oxford, Mississippi for all of the Moot Court Board members and the judges of the competition.
