The University of Tennessee Winston College of Law advocacy teams finished the spring semester with national and regional victories in moot court, mock trial and transactional law. Virginia Pirkle, Taylor Roswall and Alyssa Ward — all 2025 law graduates — won the national championship at the 2025 L. Edward Bryant, Jr. National Health Law Transactional Competition at Loyola University School of Law. Competing against 20 schools from across the country, the team secured first place in what is widely regarded as the nation’s premier transactional health law competition. In addition, law students Jordyn Dickey, Elizabeth Landin, Jhed Manalo and Tyrese Perry earned second place honors in the 2025 Constance Baker Motley Mock Trial Competition and 2025 graduate Kameron Johnson and current student Jaleigh Rogan finished second in the 2025 Thurgood Marshall Moot Court Competition. Both competitions were hosted by the Southern Region of the Black Law Students Association. Finally Joshua Rojas, a 2025 graduate, was named champion of Baylor Law School’s The Closer, one of the nation’s most rigorous transactional law competitions.
