This national program is co-sponsored by the American College of Trial Lawyers and the Young Lawyers Committee of the Bar of the City of New York. More than 165 accredited law schools participate in this program involving more than 1,000 students.
At the UM School of Law, members for two teams are selected during a competitive process. Students must have completed their second year of law school and be in good academic standing (2.0 GPA) to be eligible for this competition. National Moot Court team members enroll for two credits in the fall semester of the appropriate section of Law 699, a third-year course.
A UM team has advanced to the national competition for the last ten consecutive years.
The 2011-2012 Team members are Lee Baxter, Andrew Miller, Seamus Molloy, Francesca Distefano and David Bigger.
