Lee v. Weisman was a United States Supreme Court decision regarding school prayer. It was the first major school prayer case decided by the Rehnquist Court. It ruled that schools may not sponsor clerics to conduct even non-denominational prayer. Today Maya and her partner argued the case on behalf of Lee in moot court. She was assigned the losing side of the case but will be judged based on the quality of her team’s arguments and responses to questions from the judges. She put in over 30 hours of preparation and even dressed in her most lawyerly outfit.
UPDATE: Maya and her partner won their case and will advance to the next round.
