Jenkins Honors Intramural Moot Court Competition

After taking the Appellate Writing and Advocacy class in the fall semester, the top students from each section are given the opportunity to compete against each other in the spring semester in an intramural competition at Marquette Law School, the Jenkins Honors Moot Court Competition. In groups of two, they write briefs on one side of the case and then have several rounds of oral arguments, during which they must be prepared to argue both sides of the case. At the end of the competition, the following awards are given out: Franz C. Eschweiler Prize for Best Brief, Ramon A. Klitzke Prize for Best Oral Advocate, Finalists, and Overall Winners.
