What is the Order of the Barristers?
Students who are named to the Order of the Barristers and participate in the Barrister Tournament receive one credit of “A.” All other competitors who complete the competition requirements become members of the Moot Court Society and receive one credit of “Satisfactory.” All Barristers are automatically eligible to represent the school in prestigious national and international moot court competitions. After representing the school in one of those competitions, Barristers may serve as a coach for a team competing in these competitions. Additionally, all Barristers, regardless of national team participation, are eligible to serve on the Moot Court Board. All of these activities entitle Barristers to additional credits of “A.” Finally, the Barristers are expected to judge oral arguments during future Intramural Competitions.
