Group photo of five professionally dressed adults standing indoors against a wood-paneled wall. Two people in the center hold framed certificates that read “University at Buffalo School of Law, 2025 Charles S. Desmond Moot Court Competition, Winning Team." The group is arranged in a line, with three individuals on the left and two on the right, all facing the camera. The setting appears to be a formal office or event space with neutral lighting and a door visible in the background.
