About the Competition

The Alvina Reckman-Myers First Year Moot Court Competition gives first year students the opportunity to test their appellate oral advocacy skills in a competitive environment while receiving substantive feedback from Moot Court Honor Society members.  The Competition prepares first year students for the Moot Court Spring Qualifying Tournament and Legal Rhetoric's appellate argument.  Two preliminary rounds will take place on January 22; thirty-two competitors will be invited back to compete in the elimination rounds on January 23, and four finalists will square off before a panel of practicing judges on January 28, in the Stephen S. Weinstein Ceremonial Moot Courtroom.
