- The case Willard Beach Golf Resort INC. v. Champions Greens, INC. was argued on March 18, 1998 at the Ames Moot Court Competition. The presiding judges were Hon. David Souter '66, Associate Justice, U.S. Supreme Court; Phylllis A. Kravitch, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit; Bruce M. Selya ’58, U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit.
The Ames Competition, held in the historic Ames Courtroom of Harvard Law School, is one of the most prestigious competitions for appellate brief writing and advocacy in the country. The students participating in the Final Round started the competition in fall of their 2L year. Two teams progressed to the Final Round through their strong research abilities and excellent written and oral advocacy.
My goodness, our friend Kannon looks like a teenager here! And if you know him, he has aged very gracefully since!

Oh my god (1:08:05)
Wow is it just me or are these way better now
While they do get better in production, this was one of the worst-argued in general, although it's really hard not to love David Souter. Definitely picks up on the last oralist. (I'm only an amateur, but it seems intellectual property was not a strong suit for the students.) 1984 is a good one with Breyer on the First Circuit under Brennan! (Breyer and Souter joke about being confused for one another LOL.) A commentator there said, "This case, along with the 1975 case, are the best moot court cases ever.
" I agree. I would also heartily recommend 1977 with the priceless Thurgood Marshall. He is SO funny! 1974 has Marshall again only the video was unfortunately truncated.
I love these videos. They are not afraid to "go there" and tackle REALLY hard issues and yet inject a lot of humor.
Not accepting the sitting of the judge Bruce M. Selya 'like the children are swinging off the pitch.
Oralist: Kannon. Why was it Not Kannon ?
Baby Kannon!!!
