Advocacy

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.

Who Can Participate Georgia Law's advocacy programs are open to 2nd and 3rd year law students. 1st year students may participate in the Richard B. Russell Moot Court Competition and the J. Ralph Beaird Closing Argument Mock Trial Competition.

UGA's Winning History Georgia Law's Moot Court and Mock Trial advocacy programs have won 5 national titles, 11 regional crowns and 5 state trophies in the last 5 years. Learn more about our winning reputation.
