Moot Court Program

The Moot Court Board at Elon Law is comprised of students who have excelled in the school’s annual intramural moot court competition. The top 20 competitors in the annual fall competition are invited to membership on the Board.

Members of the Board join teams coached by the Law School’s faculty, competing in interscholastic competitions with other law schools throughout the nation.

Representative competitions include the ABA National Appellate Advocacy Competition, the National Moot Court Competition, and the Craven Competition at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Members of the Board who fulfill their service requirements are eligible to receive one academic credit for each interscholastic competition in which they compete, up to a total of two academic credits.

Each fall, the Moot Court Board hosts the annual intramural moot court competition, giving second-year Elon Law students an opportunity to showcase their written and oral appellate advocacy skills. In the spring, the Board also plays a key role in coordinating the Billings, Exum & Frye National Moot Court Competition.
