Founded in 1999, Georgetown Law’s Supreme Court Institute offers moot courts as a public service, at no charge and irrespective of the positions taken by counsel, reflecting a core commitment to the quality of Supreme Court advocacy in all cases. In the October Term 2019, the institute held moot courts for advocates in 100% of the cases argued.
