The competitors argued before a packed Appellate Courtroom, and the event was live-streamed into the Zilber Forum. 

Many thanks to the judges and competitors for their effort and enthusiasm in all the rounds of competition, as well as to the moot court executive board and Law School administration and staff for their work in putting on the event. Special thanks to Dean Kearney for his support of the competition.

Students are selected to participate in the competition based on their success in the fall Appellate Writing and Advocacy class at the Law School.
