In moot courts students learn how to litigate a case doing what attorneys do in real life. Students act as counselors and advocate the different sides of a case based on a problem written by an organization or school.
The University of Miami School of Law provides the following student moot court opportunities:
The Charles C. Papy, Jr. Moot Court Board is a student-run, honorary organization that focuses on recruiting and training the finest oral and written advocates in the country and is the oldest, largest, and most prestigious advocacy program at the University of Miami School of Law.
The International Moot Court Program, the only one of its kind in the U.S., allows students to represent the University of Miami School of Law in various legal competitions around the world while obtaining course credit.
The University of Miami School of Law Trial Team provides opportunities for students to hone their advocacy skills and develop as trial attorneys. The Trial Team is composed of a select group of students who represent Miami Law in interscholastic civil and criminal competitions against other law schools.
