The 37th Annual Robert F. Wagner Labor and
Employment Law Competition
Each Spring, the New York Law School Moot
Court Association administers the Robert F. Wagner National Labor and
Employment Law Moot Court Competition. For over thirty years, as many as
fifty schools from across the country have competed in this prestigious
event.
The Wagner Competition is the nation’s
largest student-run moot court competition and the premier national
competition dedicated exclusively to the areas of labor and employment
law. The Moot Court Association sponsors this competition in honor of the
late United States Senator, Robert F. Wagner, our distinguished
alumnus.
The 37th Annual Robert F. Wagner Labor and
Employment Law Competition will be held March 20th - 24th, 2013.
The Wagner Competition is limited to one team per school and the first
forty-eight (48) teams will be accepted on a first-come, first-served
basis. Because all 48 teams have now registered, we
have closed registration. If you were not able to register and would like
to be placed on the waiting list, please email us. In addition, schools who already registered might be
able to register a second team, but only after all schools that wish to
register have registered and we grant permission. Any school that wants to
register a second team must email us so that we can place them on the
waiting list. On December 2nd, 2012, we will determine whether
there are any spots available to offer teams on the waiting list and email
those teams accordingly. On December 16th, 2012, we will review the
list of teams again to determine whether any team’s place was
forfeited due to lack of payment. At that time, we will send every team a
confirmation email accepting them into the competition and will also
invite teams on the waiting list, if
needed.
The non-refundable registration fee for this
year's competition is $615 per team. This fee includes entry into the
competition and two tickets to the awards ceremony/cocktail reception.
Teams may purchase additional non-refundable tickets for $80 each. While
the structure of the rest of the competition will remain the same as
previous years, the Wagner Ball will no longer be a sit down dinner. This
year's Wagner Reception will be held on Saturday, March 23, 2013,
and will be a slightly shorter, semi-formal event meant to encourage more
socializing. There will be plenty of lovely hors d'oeuvre stations and an
awards ceremony. All non-refundable registration fees are due no
later than December 15th, 2012. If we do not receive the total fee
by this date, the team’s place in the competition will be
forfeited.
We only accept payment by check.
Please send one check for the total fee, including registration and each
additional reception ticket requested. Make the check payable to
“New York Law School” and place your law school name and phone
number on the check. The check should be sent with a cover letter
to:

Additionally, this year we reached out to
local hotels to provide teams a discount in room accommodations. We have
reserved a limited number of rooms at the Duane Street Hotel, the New York
Marriot Downtown, and the Cosmopolitan Hotel. If you would like information
about reserving rooms at these hotels, please email
us.
The fact pattern and rules will be released
January 10th, 2013, and competitors’ briefs will be due no
later than February 14th, 2013, at 11:59 p.m.
Thank you for your interest in the Wagner
Competition. We hope to see you
there.
