Moot Court Judges Needed!

On Friday, November 6, and Saturday, November 7, Loyola Law School will be hosting the Regional rounds of the 71st annual National Moot Court Competition using zoom and “virtual courtrooms.”  The competition features law school student advocates from California law schools. As the regional sponsor, Loyola Law School must provide three-judge panels for regional rounds of virtual oral arguments. Each argument will last approximately 1 hour (30 minutes per side) and will include an opportunity to provide the student competitors with feedback. The judges will be provided with a copy of the problem and a bench memorandum. (The problem presents two issues: standing for civil RICO matter and qualified immunity for a state government official’s conduct conducting a warrantless search. No particular expertise in these areas of law is required of the judges; all required of the judges is a willingness to observe and critique excellent student advocates.) Also, because the event is entirely virtual, you can participate without coming to campus. If you are available to serve as a judge either Friday 11/6 (argument sessions are at 6 pm and 8:30 pm) or on Saturday 11/7 (argument sessions at 9:30 am and 1 pm), please contact Professor Rebecca Delfino: Rebecca.Delfino@LLS.edu
