We are looking for new members to join our team for the 2026-2027 season of Moot Court! ​We are proud to announce that, for the first time ever, we are launching a brief writing team! The tryout process for the Oral Advocacy and Brief Writing teams look slightly different. Applicants may only apply to either our Oral Advocacy or Brief Writing Teams.​​

​

Oral Advocacy:

Tryouts with be held from April 24-26, with opportunities for make-up tryouts.​ The tryout process consists of two parts–an interview and a short oral argument.

​

The interview portion is meant for us to get to know you better as a person. Be yourself!

The oral argument portion is your opportunity to showcase your public speaking and critical thinking abilities. You will be asked to prepare a 3-5 minute oral argument based on a fictitious case packet, which is linked below. You do not need any previous public speaking experience, though it may be helpful. All we ask is that you try your best. More detailed information is provided in the case packet below.

​

Brief Writing:

The application for our Brief Writing team is due by 4/19 at 11:59PM. The tryout process consists of a 1-2 page brief sample, submitted on our application form. Select applicants will be invited to an interview via Zoom on April 29 or 30. The interview will consist of both typical interview questions in order for us to get to know you and a couple of questions asking you to reflect on your writing process. More information on this process is detailed in the packet below.

 

Best of luck!
