Award-Winning Advocacy
Hear about Georgia Law's advocacy program from moot court and mock trial participants.
One of the most fundamental responsibilities of an attorney is to advocate effectively for his or her client.
Georgia Law's accomplished Moot Court and Mock Trial programs focus directly on developing critical oral and written advocacy skills. Team members learn how to write persuasively and how to make convincing oral presentations that will withstand intense scrutiny by the court. Through this incredible practical learning experience, Georgia Law students become powerful advocates.

"The success of the advocacy program has been a direct result of the hard work and talent of the advocates and the direction of the professors, staff and alumni in preparing teams for competition. The friendships and bonds formed from participation in the program and the support have made the experience invaluable."
