(Feb. 20) – SMU Dedman School of Law recently announced that the law school’s moot court competition – formerly known as the Howie & Sweeney Moot Court Competition – has been renamed the Lynn Pinker Cox & Hurst Moot Court Competition.
“We look forward to the new partnership with Lynn Pinker Cox & Hurst, and the wonderful opportunity to be associated with one of the most successful litigation boutiques in Texas,” SMU Law Dean Jennifer Collins said in the announcement.
Howie & Sweeney closed in 2011 after the death of Dallas trial lawyer John Howie. The annual moot court competition is organized by the SMU Board of Advocates and features members of the state and federal judiciary who hear arguments from the school’s best moot court attorneys.
“Moot Court is a wonderful way for law students to get real-world, practical training. I was involved in moot court competitions when I was in law school at SMU and it was such a positive experience that it motivated me to be a trial lawyer,” Mike Lynn, founder of Lynn Pinker Cox & Hurst, said in the press release.
