POL 4320 - Moot Court Workshop


3 Credits

This course may be repeated once for a total of 6 credit hours. This course focuses on law in action in the form of simulated appellate court proceedings, or “moot court” actions. Students will brief designated court cases, prepare an annotated written appellate brief, and engage in oral argument both with individual speakers and as team members. The course also serves as an introduction to the moot court process of debate and students are introduced to courtroom decorum within that process. This workshop is open to all students, regardless of their major or career goals.
