Barristers' Qualifying Competitions
Georgetown-Hosted Competition
|
The Appellate Advocacy division of the Barristers'
Council runs the Law Center's moot court program. Two
competitions are organized a year. The Leahy
Competition, in the fall, is open to Georgetown Law LLM and upper-class JD
students. The Beaudry
Competition, in the spring, is open to Georgetown Law first-year JD students. Competitors are asked
to write an appellate brief based on a closed packet
and then argue their case in front of a panel of judges.
Those who advance to a certain level are invited to
join the Barristers' Council and represent Georgetown
Law in an interscholastic moot court competition. Finalists
argue before a panel of prominent local and federal
judges.
The Barristers' Council is also the proud host
of the Manfred Lachs Space Law Moot Competition. This is the only interscholastic moot court competition
that deals with emerging international law and space
law issues.
