Awards

Each year, the William & Mary Moot Court Team hosts a tournament—the Bushrod Tournament—for selection of their next class of members. After three rounds of scored competition to select the team, the eight highest-scoring students enter an additional single-elimination competition. The two winners of this competition have the privilege of making their arguments before a distinguished guest: the recipient of the The Edmund Randolf "Silver Tongue" Award. The Award is presented annually by the Student Division of the Institute of Bill of Rights Law to a practitioner known for outstanding oral advocacy.

The 2008 recipient of The Silver Tongue Award was Seth Waxman of WilmerHale, Washington D.C.  Finalists in the Bushrod Moot Court Tournament:  Noah Kuschel, argued for the petitioner, and Matt DiMuzio, argued for the respondent.  Noah won the tournament.
