Student Competitions: Intra-School Moot Court Competition
Each spring semester, the School of Law hosts the Intra-School Moot Court Competition which is open to all students after their first year. Participants submit a brief and conduct several rounds of oral argument. Judges for the Competition consist of faculty members and distinguished practitioners and judges.
Members of Loyola's team in the National Moot Court Competition are chosen through participation in this Intra-School Moot Court Competition.
In recognition of the importance of the art of appellate advocacy, first year students are required to attend one session of the arguments.
