League Policies
Moot Court simulates oral arguments before an appellate court. Students present legal arguments regarding a fictional case as they focus on convincing the judge(s) to either uphold or overturn a lower court’s ruling.
Moot Court competition provides students with the unique opportunity to strengthen their reasoning and persuasion skills while increasing their understanding of the US Constitution and the judicial system. This event brings together key skills that are inherent in the goals of NCFCA competition: the ability to research and think substantively about an issue and then persuasively and respectfully converse with others regarding a position on that issue.
