26-years-old Meagan Foley from Ormond Beach will participate in an international competition named Willem C. Vis International Commercial Arbitration Moot, which will be held in Vienna, Austria starting on March 23, with her team of Law students from Stetson University College of Law. Foley along with her team of four classmates Paul Crochet, Michael Rothfeldt, Lisa Tanaka and Alex Zesch will compete against around 290 teams who will come from
65 countries throughout the world.

Brooke Bowman, Stetson Law professor and also moot court advisor, said that the competitions like these provide opportunities for students to present their arguments in front of top international judges and attorneys.

Foley will argue the procedural issues between two businesses from different countries involving the international commercial arbitration. She is winning the best oralist award unprecedented for two years in a row and will graduate with a doctorate degree this May.

"It's amazing. It helped me decide the area of law I wanted to go into. You have a lot of exposure to practitioners and judges and arbitrators in the field", said Foley. She further added that during her law school career, she has never experienced another such event which provides such an access and opportunity to law aspirants.
