Moot Court Program

A) As of September 2008 enrolment in Competitive Moots, Law 473 or Law 495, satisifies the "Advocacy Requirement."

B) You must add either Law 473 (Moot I) or, if mooting for a second time for credit, Law 495 (Moot II) during the Winter Add/Drop period.

C) Student researchers or coaches may receive 2 or 3 academic credits through an Independent Supervised Project.  It is up to the academic advisor who is coaching the team to decide how many credits to grant as there will be different degrees of time commitment and involvement for the various competitions.  Only full-time faculty can supervise an ISP.

D) For the purposes of obtaining a position on a moot team, please understand the following terms to mean:

• Pre-requisite means you have already successfully passed the course before trying out.
• Fall co-requisite means you are presently enrolled in the course during the tryout period in the fall term.
• Winter co-requisite means you are enrolled in the winter term which coinsides with the actual competition.
