LAW-416 - Moot Court

Semester Credits: 2 Weeks: 10

Prerequisites: Law 214A/B: Civil Procedure and Skills

Moot Court provides students an opportunity to learn and develop appellate advocacy skills while representing the College of Law at a selected statewide or national moot court competition. Students are presented with the competition case problem and required to develop an appellate brief for one side of the case generally, but oral arguments for both sides of the case usually. Students enrolling in Moot Court must participate in and complete a selected competition to receive credit for the course. These competitions may take place in the spring. No partial credit will be given for students who fail to participate in a competition. (Students must have instructor’s permission to register for this course.)
