We are proud to announce that over this past weekend, Jennings Dixon and Anders Liman represented Emory Law at the Tenth Annual Notre Dame National Appellate Advocacy Tournament for Religious Freedom. At the tournament they were coached by members of the Emory community, Eric Wang the McDonald Scholar in Residence, Becky Grinstead-Depp a Candler School of Theology student, and Whittney Barth the Executive Director of CSLR.
