What is the time commitment for the Moot Court competition?
Like every activity in law school, Moot Court is a time commitment. Students have one month to write and submit an appellate brief. The next four weeks students must argue their issue one night a week. Typically, arguments start at 7:45 P.M. and last until 9:15 P.M. If a student makes it to the Order of the Barristers, s/he argues each night until eliminated, or until advancing to the final round. The final argument occurs in the Indiana Supreme Court. In the fall semester, students should structure their classes to reflect these time commitments.
