Clarifications

  • This year, Petitioner counsel will represent two separate entities: Alex Murray on the first issue and the state of New Storke on the second issue. Please note that the same team will argue for both Petitioner parties; speaker one will simply introduce themselves as representing Alex Murray, while speaker two will introduce themselves as counsel for New Storke.
