How does the administration of the Vis team differ, if at all, from the administration of the teams fielded by the Scott Moot Court Honors Program (the “Scott Teams”)?
A. The Scott Teams, e.g. the National Moot Court Team and the Jessup Moot Court Team, are selected through the Scott Moot Court Competition. Members of those teams are part of the Scott Board, and the teams are administered by the Scott Board. It is essentially a student-run organization, with faculty advisors and coaches. The Vis team, however, is administered by Professors Hull and McDermott who select the team and set forth the curriculum for the program. They also determine whether the students who participate have done the necessary work to earn the 3 units of credit. Students who wish to participate in the Vis team should really consider it to be like a skills course, graded on a pass/no pass basis, with Professors Hull and McDermott as the instructors. It is not a student run organization.
