West<\/strong>, a classmate who passed away unexpectedly just days before he was set to compete in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">West and Smith, who were teammates, had spent months preparing for the event and had worked together at Stetson\u2019s Veterans Law Institute. As a Veterans Advocacy Clinic fellow, West inspired hope, collaboration, and camaraderie among those with whom he worked. \u201cLogan was the kind of partner who made you better,\u201d said Smith, who also won the Best Oral Advocate Award at this year\u2019s competition. \u201cDedicating this win to him isn\u2019t symbolic for us; it\u2019s a reflection of the impact he had on me and the entire class of 2026. This wasn\u2019t just for him; it was because of him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Embracing the challenge<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Veterans law can be emotionally and intellectually demanding work. Coupled with the pressure of preparing for a national championship, it can become daunting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hearing that Smith wanted to honor West by competing this year but didn\u2019t have a teammate, Gilmutdinova stepped up to the challenge. She said she was inspired by the example West, whom she knew from her 1L Section, set through the \u201ccare, kindness, hard work, and dedication,\u201d he showed every day.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"947\" src=\"https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/law\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_2060-1024x947.jpeg\" alt=\"A group of students wearing purple polo shirts stand in front of an outdoor sign that says &quot;VETRANS LAW INSTITUTE&quot;\" class=\"wp-image-33599\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/law\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_2060-1024x947.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/law\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_2060-500x462.jpeg 500w, https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/law\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_2060-768x710.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/law\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_2060-1536x1420.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/law\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_2060-2048x1893.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Logan T. West (second from right) passed away unexpectedly in 2024.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe chose to dedicate this win in his honor because so much of what we achieved was inspired by his example,\u201d she said. \u201cThis dedication is a promise to remember and uphold the values Logan embodied, guaranteeing that his spirit remains&nbsp;a part of every milestone the team celebrated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although the preparation schedule was grueling, Gilmutdinova said Smith\u2019s dedication and tirelessness strengthened her resolve to work harder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During his most challenging moments, Smith said he would reflect on the positive attitude that West exuded when things got tough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhenever the preparation felt overwhelming, he\u2019d remind us with his infamous line, \u2018One pity party a day.\u2019 He joked that he always used his up too early. That was his spirit: honest, hopeful, and always pushing forward,\u201d Smith said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Building on years of success<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stetson Law won the inaugural Veterans Law Moot in 2009 and went on to win six more times. At five wins, only Baylor comes close to Stetson\u2019s record. Smith was also the seventh Stetson student to win <a>Best<\/a> Oral Advocate Award.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Faculty and staff with Stetson\u2019s Veterans Law Institute helped the teamwork through some challenging constitutional and <a>veterans<\/a> benefits issues. A special thanks to the team\u2019s co-coach, Christopher Gieger. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Chief Justice in the competition\u2019s final round was former Stetson Law Professor and Veterans Law Institute Director Mike Allen, who is now chief judge of the&nbsp;United States Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTheir achievement is remarkable alone, but the heart behind it is what really struck me,\u201d said <strong>Morgan Zimarakos<\/strong>, interim director of the Veterans Advocacy Clinic. \u201cClayton and Valeriya carried the memory of their classmate with them throughout the competition as a beautiful tribute to his spirit and their shared dedication.
