Compete in Intramural Tournaments
2Ls are invited to compete in any of the two intramural tournaments held at USD during the year: the Alumni Moot Court Competition (Fall) and the Paul A. McLennon, Sr. Honors Moot Court Competition (Spring). Competing in an intramural tournament involves writing an appellate brief and delivering several appellate arguments in front of a panel of judges.
Apply for the Executive Board and National Team
In the Spring, the Moot Court Board selects 2Ls and evening 3Ls to serve on the following year’s Executive Board and National Teams. The Executive Board is responsible for all tasks related to hosting tournaments and promoting appellate advocacy at USD. National Team members, in addition to serving on the Executive Board, travel and represent USD while competing in nationwide moot court tournaments.
