The Capitol City Challenge
The American University, Washington College of Law Stephen S. Weinstein Trial Advocacy Program and Mock Trial Honor Society proudly announce the Fourth Annual Capitol City Challenge. This year’s competition takes place on March 29–April 1, 2012, at the Superior Court of the District of Columbia. The competition features a civil case problem and access to modern courthouse technology.
In keeping with the law school's strong commitment to experiential learning opportunities, we are excited to announce an additional two rounds of competition. The new format guarantees students a third preliminary round and enables more teams to advance to a new quarter-final round of eight teams. As in the past, the Competition includes a semi-final round of four teams with the winners meeting in a final round. A "Best Advocate" award will be presented to the best plaintiff and defense advocates during the preliminary and final rounds.
UPDATE - We will be announcing the participants for the 2012 Capitol City Challenge later this week. All applicants will be receiving an e-mail within the next few days informing them of our decision. The list of competitors will also be posted on our website. If you any questions feel free to e-mail us capitolcitychallenge@gmail.com.
