Students develop their skills to compete in inter-law school moot court competitions sponsored annually by various law schools, bar, and trial lawyer organizations. Students learn the techniques involved in appellate advocacy from faculty advisors and local attorneys acting as coaches and judges in preparation for inter-law school moot court competitions. Selection to the team is based on evaluation by the Legal Communication III faculty in conjunction with the previous year's Moot Court Team and faculty advisor(s). Team members, in conjunction with Legal Communication III faculty and the faculty advisor(s), shall also be responsible for organizing tryouts to select the subsequent Moot Court Team. Students competing in inter-law school competitions will earn two (2) credit hours for satisfactory completion of such competition. No student may earn more than four (4) credits towards graduation for participation on the Moot Court Team. This course is graded on a pass/fail basis. The class involves several faculty-supervised simulation exercises and satisfies the experiential learning requirement. A minimum law school GPA of 2.333 is required to register for this course.
