Compete in the AMCA
We are a member of the American Moot Court Association (AMCA) and compete in their annual oral advocacy and brief writing tournaments. Each year, the AMCA releases a fictional case including two constitutional issues. Moot court can be considered a simulation of the Supreme Court. We study Supreme Court precedent to craft arguments for both constitutional issues and present those arguments to a panel of judges during competition.
Awards & Recognitions
In-House Competitions and Scrimmages
To enhance GU Moot Court’s proficiency in oral argumentation we engage annual in-house scrimmaging among our team members. Through this intramural competition members are able to sharpen their appellate advocacy and public speaking skills in a constructive environment.
Engagement in Washington, D.C.
Located in our nation’s capitol, GU Moot Court takes advantage of experiential learning opportunities such as visits to the Supreme Court.
