The semi-finalists in the Spring 2023 Best Brief Competition are: Mary Berg, Anna Colvin, Noah Dregne, Madeline Ehlinger, Ryan Gooding, Christopher Hovel, Evan W. Lane, Erin M. McBride, Sumner Pitt, Amber Renee Quinlan, Nicole G. Reed, Augie Rice, Paige Schaefer, Alexandra Schroeder, Benjamin Sevart, Adriana “Ann” Van Hout, Migena Vula, Pete Weber, Preston Wurtz and Frederick Yates.

The Best Brief Competition is an annual event that recognizes outstanding legal writing by first-year students. The Legal Research and Writing (LRW) faculty nominated these students as semi-finalists because they wrote the best appellate briefs during the spring semester LRW course. 

Next, Wisconsin attorneys will evaluate the semi-finalists’ briefs to determine who will become finalists.  A panel of Law School faculty will then evaluate the finalists’ brief to decide the winner, who will be announced by October 2023.
