After two months and several elimination rounds, Jenn Mason ’20 and Anton Tikhomirov ’20 (above) on April 10 won the 59th Annual Wendell F. Grimes Moot Court Competition at BC Law School. They were the respondents in the drug case of a 23-year-old woman implicated in an investigation involving several physicians’ prescription drug records.

In a close contest, they prevailed against Eliza Walker ’20 and Teddy Altman ’20, who argued for the petitioner. Altman was named Best Oralist.

The competition was judged by Hon. James P. Bassett of the Supreme Court of New Hampshire; Hon. Marian T. Ryan ’79, District Attorney for Middlesex County, Massachusetts; and Hon. Robert J. Cordy, retired justice of the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts.
