André Castaybert Volunteers at Orison S. Marden Moot Court Competition at NYU School of Law

André Castaybert volunteered as a judge for the Orison S. Marden Moot Court Competition at New York University School of Law on Tuesday, October 13. The problem was prepared by Michael Lombardi, a 3L on the Moot Court Board, on the Microsoft Ireland Warrant Case presently before the Second Circuit.

The issue was based on whether the Stored Communications Act permits a U.S. District court to issue a warrant for electronic files stored by an American internet service providers on servers located in a foreign country, or if the presumption against the extraterritorial application of United States law bars the use of the statute in its current form.

This was the Fall Preliminary Round. The top twelve competitors will move on to the Spring Elimination Round and four finalists will then advance to the Final Argument. Justice Elena Kagan of the United States Supreme Court will lead the judging panel for the Final Argument.
