He worked incredibly hard, and his focus and preparation paid off Moe's passion and eloquence are leg- endary. On more than one occasion, his oral arguments and answers to questions from the bench were lauded as the best the judges had ever heard. Moe could I quote footnotes and historical speeches. He knew the judges who had written every opinion and every dissent, and he was never afraid to respectfully disagree with a judge and drive his point home. Moe completely immersed himself in Moot Court, and he retires with more Team, Oral Advocate, and Brief Awards than any other Moot Court competitor in Hastings history. Congratulations and grateful thanks to the Hastings 2002 National Moot Court victors. We wish Joel, Moe, and Rob luck and success in their legal careers and hope that they will continue to be involved in the Hastings Moot Court program as alumni judges and coaches in the future.
