ATTN: 1Ls and Other Students in LARW II – Moot Court Interest

Moot Court Honor Society is looking to hold a 1L oral argument competition on April 17th. This competition is for Akron Law students who have not yet completed LARW II. Participants will receive a record and be asked to prepare a 10 minute oral argument for both the Petitioner and the Respondent. Participants are not required to do outside research.

At this time, MCHS would like to know if there are any 1Ls interested in participating in this competition. Please email Monica Dobson (MLL71@ZIPS.UAKRON.EDU) if you are interested or if you would like further information. The competition is not set in stone at this time and depends upon student interest. This is a great experience to practice your oral advocacy skills and prepare for Moot Court tryouts in the fall.
