Mr. Wolverine 2012
A testament to the high standards of Mr. Wolverine: co-hosts Mark West, Nippon Life Professor of Law and Associate Dean for Academic Affairs, and Sarah Zearfoss, Senior Assistant Dean for Admissions, Financial Aid, and Career Planning.

Perhaps the choreographers (Ilya Feldsherov and Leah Bueso, both 3Ls), though quite capable, had their work cut out for them…

IN THE EYES OF THE BEHOLDERS Not every top law school can boast
an annual all-male pageant (or, in the words of co-host Prof. Mark West, an
"ironic beauty contest"). And not just any law student can be crowned Mr. Wolverine. In addition to performing several group dance numbers,
contestants must deliver an impersonation of a professor and demonstrate a talent in the "firmwear" portion of the evening. Each of five finalists (due to a tie this year, however, there were six) must then answer a question put to him by one of the judges
(who are carefully selected from among faculty and administrators).
It's about so much more than just good looks.
