Students will begin writing their appellate briefs in January with the rounds of oral argument commencing later this spring.  The competition includes three preliminary oral argument rounds and a semifinal and final round.  

The Jenkins competitors are fortunate to have the opportunity to argue before distinguished members of the bench and bar from Wisconsin and beyond. The final round judges of the 2011 competition were the Honorable Carolyn Dineen King, the Honorable Barbara Brandriff Crabb, and the Honorable Patricia J. Gorence.

The competition is named after the James G. Jenkins, the first Marquette Law School dean. More can be read about Jenkins in Professor Gordon Hylton’s blog post.
