FAQs about Moot Camps:

What to expect at Moot Camp I: Moot Court Association members will explain what it is like to be a competitor in the Froessel Competition. Student editors will discuss brief writing techniques. (Note: briefs for moot court competitions are a slightly different format than what was taught in Legal Practice class. This is a great opportunity to clarify any questions you have about writing the brief.) Members will also discuss how much time you can expect to put into preparation for the competition. This will help you plan your summer accordingly.

What to expect at Moot Camp II: Moot Court Association members will provide tips on how to deliver a successful oral argument. Members will demonstrate both good and bad oral argument techniques. This is a great opportunity to ask questions and get a head start on the competition.

Please register for Moot Camp by 5:00 p.m. on Friday, June 21st. We urge you attend both Moot Camp sessions.
