New York Law School held its 39th Annual Charles W. Froessel Moot Court Competition September 17 through 20.

This year's competition, based on a fact pattern by law students Danielle Librandi and Christine Maggiore, focused on two issues regarding the limits of the government's power to obtain the digital metadata of a company that citizens use to send messages on their iPhones.

The final round took place on Sunday, September 20, when the four competitiors, Ronald Cosme (best final round oralist), Molly Mauck, Eric Benzenberg, and Joshua Mitts argued before New Jersey District Court Judge Joseph Irenas, Eastern District Judge Joel Slomsky, Court of Claims Judge Faviola Soto, and NYLS Professor and Moot Court Advisor, Susan Abraham.
