100th Harlan Fiske Stone Moot Court Competition Final Arguments

The 100th anniversary of the Harlan Fiske Stone Moot Court Competition Final Arguments will take place on:

Monday, April 13, 2026

Final Arguments
4:30 p.m. (doors open at 4:00 p.m.)
Jerome L. Greene Hall, Room 104–106
435 W. 116th St., New York, NY 10027

Attendance is required for all 1Ls.

A distinguished panel of judges will preside: Chief Judge Steven M. Colloton (U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit), Chief Judge Albert Diaz (U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit), Chief Judge Mary H. Murguia (U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit), and Chief Judge David J. Barron (U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit).

This year’s case asks whether the use of the internet to transmit iMessages is sufficient to establish that the messages traveled in interstate commerce, and whether the district court erred by sentencing the appellant to a term of supervised release that included a prohibition against using the internet “as a means of expressive communication,” with limited exemptions. Oral arguments will be delivered by finalists Margaret Broihier ’27 and Benjamin Tutt ’27 (for the United States), and Jason Harward ’26 and Coley Hungate ’26 (for the defendant-appellant).
