62nd Moot Court Showcase

The Hon. Emilio M. Garza (U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit), the Hon. Raymond M. Kethledge (U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit), and the Hon. Martha A. Vazquez (U.S. District Court of New Mexico) will preside over the 62nd Annual NDLS Moot Court Showcase at 4 p.m. March 1 in the Patrick F. McCartan Courtroom.

The case, Tuckerman v. Betterly Hills County School District and Bliss, presents two questions:

(1) What standard should the Court apply when deciding whether a school district has the authority to discipline students for internet speech?

(2) May a court issue an adverse inference for spoliation of evidence where the spoliating party acted negligently and without any bad faith?
