Congratulations to the Class of 2023

Congratulations to the ABA Mediation Competition 2nd place winners, Monica Moazez and Ashley Hutton!

Monica and Ashley are 2Ls here at ASU Law. They placed 2nd in the country, with a split ballot (2-1) from the judges. After the round the judge remarked that this was a coin-toss as to who would win.

Ashley stepped in last minute after a classmate fell ill, making this an amazing feat to do so well under challenging circumstances. ASU Law alum Erika Mansur (‘09) coached them during the competition in San Antonio.

Congrats, Monica and Ashley!
