The Competition Committee had finally seen enough. Dissatisfied with efforts in previous years to provide stiffer competition for the Gavels of the State Public Defender’s Office, the Committee devoted its entire winter meeting last month to a discussion of more fundamental measures. Not content with simply adding another law firm to each of the league’s other teams—the Affirmed, Citations, Writs, and Waivers—the Committee voted to disband the Citations entirely and distribute their firms to the other three contenders. This dispersal yielded three powerhouse teams to whom the early line gives better than even odds to dethrone the six-time defending champion Gavels. The Waivers, for instance, are now fielding a lineup that features Husch Blackwell, Troutman Pepper, Quarles & Brady, Reinhart Boerner Van Deuren, von Briesen & Roper, Boardman & Clark, and a capable supporting cast of six other firms.
As in the past, scoring summaries will be posted here later this month, with weekly updates following until the season concludes in July. Meanwhile, fans can click on the appropriate links to view the scoring rules and full team rosters.
