The Negotiations Competition was first held in 1985. On August 30, 2006, the Moot Court Executive Board named the Negotiations Competition in honor of Robert J. Grey, Jr., ’76L, because of his extensive experience in dispute resolution. A partner in the Richmond, Va. office of Hunton & Williams, Grey focuses on administrative matters before state and federal agencies, mediation and dispute resolution, and legislative representation of clients.
Grey served as President of the American Bar Association in 2004-2005 and joined the Washington and Lee University Board of Trustees in 2008.
