Semester Credits: 2 Weeks: 10

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

Moot Court is a two-unit course that provides an opportunity for students to experience the exciting world of advocacy as a law student. During the semester long course, students will compete against other law school teams in a brief writing and oral argument competition. The Moot Court team that prepares the best brief and the best overall competitive arguments wins! As part of a moot court competition, students will travel to a live competition or participate in a zoom competition with their team where judges will award teams with “Best Brief,” “Best Oral Arguer,” and “Best Overall” awards. All students in the course will have the opportunity to contribute to the team brief and receive two-units towards graduation. If selected, students may be invited to be on the oral argument team to represent the school at the oral argument competition, and these students will receive an additional unit towards graduation for a total of three units. It is a very rewarding and challenging course that allows students to put everything that they have learned in law school together
