michael wildes judges oratory competition at yeshiva university, april 2, 2017

The annual Langfan Family Undergraduate Constitutional Oratorical Competition was held at Yeshiva University, Yeshiva College, Belfer Hall, on April 2, 2017.  This competition has recognized student excellence in public speaking and rhetoric since its establishment in 2001.  Langfan is not a traditional moot court competition where judges interrupt competitors during their argument. Instead, it is an oratorical competition in which competitors present a short uninterrupted speech analyzing a controversial constitutional issue. Students from both the Wilf and Beren campus’ participated.
 
The topic of this years competition was  “The Fourth Amendment’s Prohibition On Unjustified Deadly Force: Should the Supreme Court apply a formalist or a functionalist analysis in determining the extraterritorial application of the Fourth Amendment?”

As a former federal prosecutor with the Eastern District of New York, Mr. Wildes provided thoughtful critique for students who participated.  He offered feedback on the students presentation style and their ability to deliver persuasive arguments  surrounding the topic.  The first place winner was awarded $800, the second place winner, $600, and the third place winner $400. All of the students stated that they truly appreciated the valuable input and insightful comments of Mr. Wildes, a seasoned practitioner, television commentator, and law professor.
