SULC Marshall-Brennan Scholars Explore Student Privacy Rights at Spring Moot Court Competition
In the heart of the nation’s capital, Southern University Law Center’s Marshall-Brennan scholars challenged the limits of the Fourth Amendment and student privacy rights at the annual Moot Court Competition.
Students from across the country gathered in Washington, D.C., to present their arguments and compete at a high level. Southern University Law Center stood out as the only school to advance three scholars to the semifinals, with Anwar McKinney earning an impressive second-place finish overall.
Our SULC competitors included Anwar McKinney, Brock Dukes, Sha’lecia Lee, and Reagan Scott. Throughout the competition, the students demonstrated impressive growth in public speaking, critical thinking, and legal reasoning. Over the course of the program, their performances improved significantly with each practice session, learning how to craft persuasive arguments, respond articulately to judges’ questions, and apply complex legal precedents to real-world scenarios.
At the Law Center, the Marshall-Brennan Project, primarily serves high school students in East Baton Rouge Parish, with a particular focus on underserved and underrepresented communities that may have limited access to civic education resources. Through this work, SULC fellows educate students about their rights and responsibilities, provide mentorship,encourage civic participation, and help create pathways to higher education and legal careers.
This year’s Marshall-Brennan Fellows were Law Center students Tierra Butler, Chinoya Emeghara, Hanna Espy, Keosha Lloyd, and Trevon Kelso.
