The moot court process allows law students to develop oral and written advocacy skills, to compete with students from law schools across the nation, and to meet practitioners and jurists in their chosen field of law.

The Moot Court Board selects participants to compete on Moot Court teams. With over 180 applicants each year vying for 65 positions, admission into the program is highly competitive. Students who demonstrate exceptional oral and written advocacy skills will be invited to represent Loyola at competitions. Loyola has 16 Moot Court competition teams. Faculty, alumni and other members of the bar serve as coaches for the teams.

Members of all Loyola teams are prepared for competition through theHonors Appellate Advocacy Program, an intensive course focusing on advanced legal research, brief writing, oral arguments, and the components of appellate procedure. Unique to Loyola, the course refines skills learned in the first-year legal writing course and the advocacy course taken by all students. Several distinguished speakers from the Chicago legal community are invited to address the teams. The class also functions as a workshop to allow students the opportunity to work on oral advocacy skills in preparation for competition.

Competition teams are open to all incoming second-, third- and fourth-year students.
