Description:
Join us for an evening all about Moot Court! It’s a low-commitment, low-cost opportunity to learn about what Moot Court is, how much time preparation will take, and what this year’s packet looks like.

We’ll be doing sessions on the federal court system, the basics of Moot, answering questions well, cracking open this year’s packet for the first time, and preparations during the year.

The camp is geared towards people who have never had an official introduction to Moot (i.e., never been to a camp). If you’ve competed before, but never had instruction on how to do it, this camp is for you. Or, if you’re brand new or just wanting to check it out––this camp is for you! And if you have been to a Blackstone/Lasting Impact! camp before, you are still invited––but we recommend you attend one of our other online camps that are geared toward advanced competitors.
