On February 27, Brian Brookey served as a judge at the 12th Annual Williams Institute Moot Court Competition at UCLA School of Law, marking his eighth consecutive year as a competition judge. The Williams Institute hosts the only national competition dedicated exclusively to topics of sexual orientation and gender identity law. Competitors write an appellate brief on a current legal topic and argue the case before a panel of judges. This year’s problem addressed the president’s authority to issue an executive order requiring federal contractors to engage in affirmative outreach steps to increase employment of LGBT people.
