The Appellate Advocacy Division holds the Leahy Competition each fall. Leahy is open to all upper-class J.D. and LL.M. students. Leahy registration is currently open until September 30 at 11:59 PM. Please register for the competition here.

The Appellate Advocacy Division will also be hosting two virtual information sessions regarding the Leahy Competition on:

  • September 21 at 6:00 PM: Join the meeting HERE.
  • September 29 at 6:00 PM: Join the meeting HERE.

To be eligible to compete, competitors must pay a $30 registration fee. The fee is payable HERE. However, we do not want this fee to pose a barrier to your participation. As a result, requests for fee waivers can be made to Hannah Ward at hw481@georgetown.edu.

To be able to compete, you must have (1) registered for the Leahy Competition and (2) paid the registration fee or obtained a fee waiver. Please make sure you have completed both of these requirements prior to the deadline.

For questions or concerns, please email the Leahy Directors at leahy@georgetown.edu.
