This fall, 45 teams from all five boroughs competed during preliminary rounds at the Fordham University School of Law. Students argued as both petitioners and respondents for the case,\u00a0“Tyler Kreetor v. United States of America” written by the Fordham Moot Court Board. The issues of the case are: (1) Whether an investigatory stop is valid when it is based on a tip from a retired police officer stating only that the suspect is acting suspiciously; and (2) whether a court should defer to a federal agent\u2019s belief that the suspect was armed and dangerous and that the scope of the Agent\u2019s search was proper.<\/p>\n

Students were coached by their Law Academy teachers and MENTOR attorneys. Attorneys and law school students volunteered to judge the preliminary through semifinal rounds.<\/p>\n
