On March 6, Davis Malm attorney Christopher J. Marino served as a judge for the 2013-2014 Boston Regional National Appellate Advocacy Competition (NAAC). The event, hosted by the American Bar Association Law Student Division, emphasized the development of oral advocacy skills through a realistic appellate advocacy experience. Students participated in a hypothetical appeal to the United States Supreme Court, which included writing a brief and arguing the case before a mock court. This year’s competition focused on labor law, and competitors examined the difference between “use” and “access” under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act and whether a law student intern qualifies as an “employee” under the Fair Labor Standards Act.

Christopher J. Marino practices in the Litigation, Employment, and Business Law areas. He has extensive experience in complex commercial litigation including securities, antitrust, RICO, employment, contract, consumer fraud, and class action litigation. Chris has represented individuals, shareholders, and public and private companies before state and federal courts, appellate courts, and arbitration panels throughout the country.
