Academic and Advocacy Activities
Academic-related activities empower law students to apply classroom knowledge in real-world contexts, develop essential professional skills, and build meaningful connections within the legal community. In the rigorous and intellectually demanding environment of law school, academic activities play a vital role in shaping well-rounded, practice-ready legal professionals. These experiences offer students opportunities to develop essential skills beyond the classroom. These skills are indispensable in both legal education and professional practice.
Our Academic and Advocacy Activities
Law Review
Law Review is a prestigious, student-run scholarly journal that publishes legal research, commentary, and analysis on a wide range of topics. Students are selected after the 1L year, based on 1L GPA and writing samples.
Moot Court
Moot court is an opportunity for students to refine their appellate advocacy skills. Participants research legal issues, draft appellate briefs, and present oral arguments. Students participate in moot court competitions at the local, regional and national levels.
Mock Trial
Students in mock trial compete in local, regional and national competitions. Students prepare all parts of a case including opening statements, direct and cross-examination, introduction of evidence and closing arguments.
Deposition Teams
Students on a deposition team simulate the pretrial process of deposing witnesses. This includes preparing case strategies, preparing questions for the witnesses, making and responding to objections and preserving testimony for use at trial. Students engage in competitions against students from other law schools.
