Quick course overview: Trial Advocacy 2L skills-based course taken by most students (20,000) Offered in both fall and spring Often taught by adjuncts Objective is to prepare students for all phases of litigation, covering both civil and criminal procedure Course areas can include: Pretrial Practice Trial Evidence (sometimes a pre or co-req) Trial Advocacy or Trial Practice – most common Moot Court WKLRSUS

Is it Moot or Mock?? Whereas mock trial involves a whole trial, moot court tournaments are composed of a single oral argument for each side, plus a rebuttal for the petitioner. Unlike mock trial, in moot court,  one directs oral argument at a panel of appellate “judges,” usually local attorneys and judges. Legal Education – NSM – July 2018
