External Moot Court Competition Guide As of April 12, 2006

Please note that this list is intended as a guideline only. Specifics of the competitions are subject to change at any time; in fact, many competition dates have not yet been set for the upcoming school year. Although this list will be updated periodically, students are strongly encouraged to do their own research and to update that research regularly. A few competitions have registration deadlines over the summer or early in the school year. Thus, students are responsible for knowing the details and deadlines of competitions.
