Three CHS Moot Court Teams Are Top 8 in Nation

Three CHS Moot Court teams are top 8 in the nation. The Creekview High School moot court teams have broken to semifinals in the Harlan Institute Virtual Moot Court Tournament. These teams are now Top 8 in the nation and will compete for a spot in the final round in Washington, D.C.

The teams are:

Mahak Merchant and Simon Peña

Makaylia Askew and Joanna Boyer

Aileen Mai and Amena Tep

Simon, Joanna, Aileen, and Amena are simultaneously working on the Duke Moot Court case and will be arguing these two different cases within the same week.

Joanna is also competing in the Texas Citizenship Bee and will thus be competing in three different competitions in the same week.

This year’s Harlan Institute case dealt with whether or not a warrant is required under the 4th Amendment for Law Enforcement to obtain Cell Site Location Data from a cell phone provider. The actual case, Carpenter v. U.S., is currently pending before the U.S. Supreme Court.
