Students from more than a dozen law schools competed at the Tenth Annual Invitational Moot Court Competition, hosted by the Antonin Scalia Law School Moot Court Board in conjunction with the Law & Economics Center, the Global Antitrust Institute, and Judge Douglas H. Ginsburg of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.

The students participated in four rounds of arguments on February 23 at the Scalia Law School Arlington Campus, with four teams emerging as the semifinalists who then competed at the E. Barrett Prettyman United States Courthouse the following day. They worked on a hypothetical case surrounding a challenge to a vertical merger and a potential tying issue in the medical devices market.
