LAW 77214
Moot Court · 2 credits · Fall 2026
About this course
Students enhance their advocacy skills through participation in a moot court competition. Presented with a lower court decision in an area of unsettled law, students do legal research on complex issues, write an appellate brief, and advocate in an oral argument against students from other law schools before a panel of judges. Judges score the quality of the appellate briefs, the use of citations to legal authority, and the oral argument skills of the participants. The course requires the completion of a brief and oral argument of professional quality prepared for an external competition or the equivalent thereof with students gaining experience in oral argument through critiques and feedback from several practice rounds.
