As I end my first year as department chair, I wish to
recognize the service of our prior chair, Charles Noble,

Moot Court
A
t the CSULB-hosted 2010 8th annual Western Regional Collegiate Moot Court Tournament, which was
attended by 34 teams from around the country, five CSULB teams and one hybrid team of CSULB and
Chapman University students advanced from Friday to Saturday’s elimination rounds, earning automatic bids
to the national finals at Florida International University School of Law in Miami, Florida. The five automatic
bids represent a record for CSULB. The CSULB team of Timothy Appelbaum and Reema Abboud, which
finished third, became the first CSULB team since 2003-4 to advance to the semi-finals. Appelbaum and Abboud are just the second and third students in CSULB history to earn multiple bids to the national tournament
and they are the only two CSULB students to earn multiple automatic bids to the national tournament. Also
earning automatic bids were Jillian Ewan/Ryan King, Richard Bosanko/Kyle Bourne, Ashlie Brillault/Jose
Reynoso, and Katie McHale, whose teammate is Chapman University’s Kyle Lee.
Four CSULB students won top orator awards. These include Jose Reynoso (2nd), Jillian Ewan (3rd), Matthew Gunter (7th), and Ashlie Brillault (9th). Additionally, Appelbaum and Abboud were awarded prizes of
$250 each by the Long Beach Bar Association for their performance as CSULB’s top team.
At the national finals in Florida, the teams of Appelbaum/Abboud, Reynoso/Brillaut and McHale/Lee advanced to elimination rounds. This is the 3rd straight year that CSULB teams have reached the elimination
rounds. Unfortunately, all three teams were eliminated in 2-1 decisions. Reema Abboud and Timothy Appelbaum were two of just three CSULB students to advance to two elimination rounds at the national tournament. Timothy Appelbaum was named the 4th best in the nation. He is only the second CSULB orator award.
Long Beach Bar Association, President Maria Rohaidy came to campus to formally congratulate Timothy Appelbaum and Reema Abboud for their accomplishments, acknowledging their achievement with a student and a one-year membership in the bar
association.
