On Friday, a team of two students – Bentley Adams and Irena Chernova – competed at the Regional Transactional LawMeet. Prior to Friday’s in-person competition, all teams were assigned a side to represent in a transaction – buyer or seller. Each team then completed two drafting assignments consisting of (1) drafting an indemnification agreement and (2) marking up a draft indemnification agreement prepared by the other side in the transaction. The teams then competed on Friday at various regional competitions across the country.
The Regional meet this year was hosted by the University of Georgia and AJMLS participated with teams from 11 other schools – University of Georgia, Georgia State, Georgetown, Emory, Baylor, University of Mississippi, University of Tennessee, Florida International, Nova Southeastern, Washington & Lee, and Northern Kentucky.
The AJMLS team did a wonderful job. The team was awarded BEST DRAFT on the seller’s side and came in third place for the negotiation piece on the seller’s side. Special thanks goes to Ben Stidham and Amy Zapatka, the AJMLS alumnae who competed in last year’s National LawMeet. They generously donated their time and expertise to consult with the students on this year’s problem and Ben traveled to Athens with the group on Friday. The law school is very fortunate to have such dedicated alumnae who continue to support the school and the students. Congratulations again Bentley and Irena!
