The University of San Carlos College of Law Mooting Team delivered another stellar performance in an international mooting competition—the recently concluded 29th Stetson International Environmental Law Moot Court Competition, held at Stetson University in Gulfport, Florida, USA, on April 9–12, 2025.

Law students Neil Glova Jr., Earl Max Eata, and Joanna Camille Aparece clinched the Best Memorial Award among all competing teams from around the world. The team also achieved a flawless 4-0 win-loss record during the preliminary rounds, advancing to the semi-finals in the advanced rounds.

This follows USC Law’s stellar performance in the 2025 Jessup Global Rounds in Washington, D.C., where the team clinched the Best Team Memorials Award—besting hundreds of law schools from various jurisdictions around the world and further cementing its legacy of excellence in legal writing.

USC Law’s achievements in the international mooting arena are far from novel. In 2016, the University won the global championship at the 20th Annual Stetson International Environmental Moot Court Competition, with now-assistant coach Atty. Mark Lawrence Badayos as one of the Carolinian mooters representing the Philippines.

The global mooting arena can expect more achievements from the USC College of Law, as its mooters are continuously mentored by College of Law Assistant Dean and Head Coach Atty. Daryl Bretch Largo, Vice President for Administration Atty. Joan S. Largo, and Assistant Coaches Atty. Mark Lawrence Badayos and Atty. Rhomeljustein Redoble.
