1L Moot Court Competition
Good Afternoon,
The 1L Moot Court Competition will now be open to the entire 1L class. Originally, only 1Ls who bailiffed in the Energy Competition were permitted to compete. However, given the short notice of the bailiffing requirement and the property midterm, we have decided to allow any interested 1L to tryout. We are looking to build on the success of last year’s team and sincerely hope that you all tryout! The competition will be held on April 19th and 20th.You will be arguing your final LRRW paper. Competitors are required to argue both “on brief the first day and “off brief" the next day.
What you need to do:
(1) Add the “1L Moot Court Competition” on TWEN by Monday, April 17th (this is the only way that we will be able to pair you up for arguments)
(2) Select “Course Materials” and read the Competition Slides and Rules
(3) Submit a persuasive writing sample in the dropbox located on the TWEN page before April 19th (this can be your final LRRW paper)
If have any questions please email me at sva0001@mix or Wayne Hancock at dhancoc1@mix.
Best,
Skyler Assif
