Each
year, the Moot Court Board sends two teams of three 3L Board members
to the Nationals Competition, which is held each fall and is
considered to be the most prestigious interscholastic competition in
the country. The decision as to which Board members will make up the
two teams is made by the Faculty Advisor and the Chair(s). |
|
Any
Board member who is interested in participating on the Nationals Teams
must submit a signed Statement of Interest to the Chair(s) by the
designated due date (April 11, 2003). This statement should not be
more than one page double-spaced, and should include the following
information: |
-
The Board member’s expected course load for the fall semester;
-
Any other major time commitments or obligations of the member (e.g.,
journal membership and expected amount of work involved, law school
or outside employment, family obligations);
-
Any other information that the member feels might be helpful in
making the team selections.
|
|
The
selection of team members will be based on the following criteria, in
descending order of importance: |
-
Interscholastic competition experience;
-
Interscholastic competition results;
-
Hardt Cup/Dean’s Cup/Jessup Cup results/rankings;
-
Quality of practice rounds;

|
|
The
Chairs will have read every competition brief submitted during the
year, and will attend at least one practice round for each competition
team, in order to gather enough information and exposure to make the
selection process as fair as possible. |
