Pryor Cashman Summer Associates Esther Kim and Luke Rushing have been selected to participate in the 4th Annual Second Circuit Moot Court Argument Program. The competition will take place on July 18, 2017 at The Thurgood Marshall U.S. Courthouse in Manhattan’s Foley Square. 

As part of the program, co-sponsored by the New York Intellectual Property Law Association (NYIPLA) and the Second Circuit, Kim and Rushing will compete against adversaries from three other law firms in a moot court oral argument derived from the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent Star Athletica decision regarding the separability analysis in the context of copyright protection eligibility.

Judges from the Second Circuit and the District Court will hear argument and voice their comments from the bench.

IP Partner Dyan Finguerra-DuCharme will coach Kim and Rushing as they prepare for oral argument, with Associate Danielle Tepper mentoring.
