Moot Court and Dispute Resolution 比赛

The college’s moot court competitions are run by the  模拟法庭委员会. 谈判 and mediation competitions are run by Law Students for Appropriate Dispute Resolution (LSADR).

Appellate Advocacy Program (“麦克尼克”) (Law 955): A fall semester intramural moot court competition open to all 2Ls and 3Ls. 模拟法庭委员会 members write the problem, grade the briefs and organize the competition. Each participant must satisfactorily complete a major brief and make two preliminary arguments before faculty and student judges. The top 16 participants based on brief and oral argument scores advance to elimination rounds judged by attorneys and judges from around the region.

Appellate (Moot) Court (Law 956): Consists of participation in interscholastic moot court competitions. The college generally fields teams for the National Moot Court Competition, Duberstein Bankruptcy Moot Court Competition, National Latina/o Law Students Moot Court Competition, and National Native American Law Student Association Moot Court. 比赛 may vary depending upon resources and College priorities.

谈判 & Mediation 比赛: Teams in the ABA’s interscholastic 谈判 and Representation in Mediation 比赛 receive faculty guidance but no school credit. Teams are chosen through an intramural competition run by Law Students for Appropriate Dispute Resolution and judged by local lawyers and dispute resolution practitioners.
