The Supreme Court CompetitionEach year, outstanding advocates in the law School compete in the Supreme CourtCompetition for the honor of presenting final arguments to the Iowa SupremeCourt. The problem is based upon a real case, using an actual record that waspending before the Iowa Supreme Court, thus giving competitors a realisticexperience.The competition is open to all second and third year law students and consists ofwriting a brief and two preliminary rQunds, one on-brief and one off-brief. Eachcompetitor argues individually in the preliminary rounds, with 10 minutes of timeallocated to each advocate. The four top advocates based upon scores from thepreliminary rounds advance to the Supreme Court Competition before the IowaSupreme Court. The four finalists are usually paired as teams of two for the finalround, each arguing for 10 minutes. The award for the Best Ora list in the finalround is then announced at the Supreme Court Celebration Banquet.A Brief Summary of the 2010Supreme Court Competition ProblemWin-A-Lot Games, Plaintiffv.The Iowa Lottery Authority and the State Of Iowa, DefendantsThe State of Iowa contracted with Win-A-lot Games to provide machines for thelottery's TouchPlay program. To fulfill its obligations, Win-A-lot investedsignificant capital in developing and deploying TouchPlay machines, expecting thatTouchPlay would last for at least 5 years. The TouchPlay program was an initialsuccess. By April 2006, 6,432 TouchPlay machines had been placed in 2,909premises across Iowa. Concerned about the proliferation of gambling, theGovernor ordered a moratorium on the issuance of new licenses and appointed ataskforce to study TouchPlay. less than a week after the taskforce issued itsreport, the Iowa legislature banned the TouchPlay program. The contract at issueprovided in Paragraph 16.2 that the lottery could terminate the contract "withoutpenalty and without any advance notice" due to "an act ... of the legislature." TheDistrict Court decided for the lottery, finding the contract to be enforceable andinterpreting the phrase "without penalty" to shift the risk to Win-A-lot.Former Supreme CourtCompetition Finalists2009Erin GrundyMegganGunsKevin TeetsMiriam VanHeukelem2008Ashley DoseKevin TeetsJacob LofgrenAnna Katherine Ryon2007Jim BryanMichael GanoRobert HodgesEmily Peebler2006Dan AndersonJennifer BennettJames BryanGeneva Williams2005Amber BradyAutumn CannyMatthew EslickTom Hutchins2004Jill AleschNichole BiglinCraig DrummondThomas Hutchins2003Jill AleschRon BailyPat DillonRubina Kazi2002Thomas CopeRubinaKaziAnne OlsonJill Jensen-WeIch2001Thomas CopeJohn DanosJeff LinkBrenda K.
