Last week on January 25th, the Scalia Law hosted an Outreach Oral Argument from the U.S. Court of International Trade. The Honorable Jennifer Choe-Groves presided over the proceedings. Students were encouraged to attend and, so they could better understand the arguments, received a summary of the case and a copy of the issues Judge Choe-Groves requested the litigants address.

The case, Tenaris Bay City, Inc. et al v. United States, was an appeal before the U.S. Court of International Trade (“CIT”) reviewing the U.S. International Trade Commission’s final affirmative material injury determination from its investigation of oil country tubular goods from Argentina, Mexico, South Korea, and Russia. After oral arguments, Judge Choe-Groves, her law clerk, and the attorneys stuck around for a Q&A session.

Later in the day, Judge Choe-Groves held a “fireside” chat in a classroom. Professor Donald Kochan began the event by introducing Judge Choe-Groves. The judge then shared her journey to the bench and offered advice for students interested in clerking and international trade.
