UW-Whitewater senior Brittany Gonzales, left, and junior Nate Kelty win by a close vote and an arcane rule on their  argument to let a Wisconsin case on private property advance in the U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday, February 23, 2017.  Teams of students in Associate Professor Jolly Emreys Legal Research and Writing class spend the semester researching current cases pending on the federal Supreme Courts docket from a particular justices perspective.
