This is your chance to argue a case before the Supreme Court. (Well, Not THE Supreme Court but a moot Supreme Court.) In Moot Court, students argue a hypothetical constitutional law case before a panel of experienced lawyers and jurists. Students will learn the skills of written and oral advocacy in anticipation of participation in the American Moot Court Association regional and national competitions. No prior experience in appellate advocacy is necessary.
