This building was designed to strengthen the Law Center’s ability to prepare our students to participate fully in the global community. Those engaged in the practice of law recognize the increasing number of issues that require lawyers to focus beyond national borders. The Hotung building brings all the major components of the international programs under one roof, enabling Georgetown to continue to build on the academic excellence that has already placed it at the vanguard of legal education and scholarship in this country. The building is home to many offices including International and Graduate Programs, Law Alumni and Development, Public Relations, Continuing Legal Education, and several student organizations. Our Supreme Court Moot Court Room and an Alumni Welcoming Center can be found on the second floor. International Law Faculty offices, seminar rooms, and classrooms are also located throughout the building.

Supreme Court Model Courtroom

The centerpiece of the Supreme Court Institute (SCI) is the Supreme Court Moot Court Program, which taps into the expertise of faculty and outside practitioners to prepare counsel for oral argument before the Court. In recent years, the SCI has advanced that goal by conducting moot courts for advocates in nearly every case on the Court’s argument docket. In the October Term of 2019, the SCI provided a moot court to counsel in 100% of the cases argued before the Court. The SCI moot court program was also featured in a New York Times article by Supreme Court correspondent Adam Liptak.

The Supreme Moot Court is modeled entirely after the actual Supreme Court — from the set-up and floor to the large clock looming above the justices. Students are able to register to sit in on a moot court, and every student enrolled in the J.D. program at Georgetown attends a moot court as part of the first-year Legal Research and Writing curriculum.
