51 UVic law students: Law Games

In January, 51 UVic law students returned from the 24th annual Law Games in Montr&e#180;al with $2,000 in prize money and the coveted Spirit Cup, awarded to the overall winners of this four-day athletic and academic competition. Chris Funt and Mike Doris won the academic moot and 10 UVic students were the unanimous choice to win the "So, lawyers can dance?" competition. UVic Law teams also qualified for six of the 10 sports semifinals, clinched the ultimate frisbee and ball hockey titles and narrowly missed the waterpolo final. They will donate the prize money to the Victoria Women's Transition House, which offers counselling and shelter to women suffering emotional and physical abuse.
