While our morning session left some room for improvement, my teammate and I got very positive feedback from our afternoon session. (Including particularly high marks for civility.) I don't expect to move into tomorrow's round, but have had a ton of fun preparing and participating in this competition. Like I said, this is quite possibly the most enjoyable thing I've yet done in law school and something I hope to do more of. (Incidentally, I am currently the vice president of GMU's Alternative Dispute Resolution Society.)
P.S. -- If you have any interest in this kind of stuff, I highly recommend the book Getting To Yes.
