Best Wishes to Mitchell´s Team Competing at the Thomas Tang Moot Court Regional Competition

Nathan Gin and Janet Ng will be representing William Mitchell and our chapter of the Asian Law Students Association at the central regional for the Thomas Tang National Moot Court taking place at Northwestern University School of Law in Chicago this coming Friday and Saturday, October 20-21.

The Thomas Tang National Moot Court Competition was spawned in 1993 by the APA Law Student Association of the South Texas College of Law, Houston, Texas. It is now administered by the NAPABA Law Foundation and the NAPABA Judicial Council. The Competition honors the late Judge Thomas Tang, a champion of individual rights, an advocate for the advancement of minority attorneys, an ardent supporter of NAPABA and the moot court competition. Judge Tang served on the United States Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals from 1977 until his passing in 1995. Judge Tang’s wife, Dr. Pearl Tang, continues the legacy and participates every year.
