| The
Moot Court Juggernaut
2007-2008
Moot Court Board
and Team
Members
The
moot court program at the University of Georgia has been described as a
juggernaut, and the analogy couldn't be more accurate. Each year, UGA
students compete in the most difficult appellate tournaments in the
country, and they consistently win.
Twice
in the last 16 years, UGA has reigned supreme
in the oldest and most prestigious moot court
tournament in the country, the National Moot Court
Competition. Georgia Law has captured the regional crown en route to
the nationals three of the last five years. More than 150 teams enter the competition
each year, sponsored by the Association of the
Bar of the City of New York.
UGA's
moot court program is girded by the commitment of faculty members and
moot court alumni, who volunteer to judge practice rounds of oral
arguments. Excellence is demanded and expected, and moot court students
deliver.
Additional
opportunities are offered through moot court exchanges
held in alternating years with Gray's Inn of London,
England, and King's Inn of Dublin, Ireland. The
exchanges offer enriched experience in the courtroom
and promote the knowledge of other cultures and
legal systems.

"Moot
court gave me the opportunity to work on real world
legal problems with some of the brightest students
in the law school. I developed advocacy and
analytical skills you cannot receive in the classroom.
It is by far the most valuable experience I had in law school."
