#BROODING OMNIPRESENCE FREE#
This year, Battle of the Brains raised a record $23,000 from law firms and corporations, which will help the Stanford Community Law Clinic provide free legal services and enable students from the Stanford Community Action for Human Rights Project to promote health care in Ghana.Īt the March competition, pop-culture knowledge proved some teams’ ace in the hole and others’ undoing. Sponsored by the Law Students Association, the event also has a serious purpose. Battle of the Brains is the time of year for the trivia experts to shine,” says event director and second-year law student Lisa Schwartz. “Students enjoy watching each other excel in different things outside of law, whether it’s the intramural basketball team, the annual Law School musical or a trivia bowl. The law school community packed Kresge Auditorium March 4 to watch Jennings quiz the teams-three made up of students, three composed of faculty and staff-on chemical equations, geographical knowledge and actors’ middle names.
It was typical flamboyance from the Battle of the Brains, a student-faculty trivia tournament at Stanford Law School, with one additional feature: the 10th annual competition was hosted by none other than Ken Jennings, the all-time-winningest Jeopardy! champion.
A group of female faculty donned black suits and red blouses, dubbing themselves “NOT Men in Black.” One member of the Million Dollar Babies, administrator Randy Mont-Reynaud, flexed her way to the stage, complete with robe, boxing gloves, sports bra and gold-ribbon-threaded hair. The teams boasted names like The Brooding Omnipresence and Booyakasha.
