Moot Court Caselaw Club

We’ll cover the packet and each case you need to read this season, explaining the difficult-to-understand language so it’s easy for you to grasp. You’ll come out of the fall semester ready to tackle any judge questions!! In addition, you’ll get free access to the Moot guidebook, Compelling Oral Advocacy.

The club is not equivalent to private coaching. There won’t be any case writing feedback, and there will be only a few opportunities for practice (though the group can arrange that outside of hours). Instead, the club is geared toward helping you understand caselaw so you can better write your own case.

Ethan Tong (’19 alumnus) qualified to Nationals in Moot Court both years he competed, earning an 8th place Oral Advocate award at the 2019 National Championship. He and his partner were the top seed at the 2019 Dallas National Mixer, at which he won a 2nd place Oral Advocate award. He and his partner also placed 2nd at the Illinois National Mixer that same year. In the last three years, Ethan has qualified fifteen Moot Court teams to the National Championship, with his teams placing 7th, 5th, 2nd (twice) and 1st. Four of his private students have won 1st place Oral Advocate awards throughout the year, and 9 of them have won top 6 Oral Advocate awards at Nationals. Additionally, he co-authored NCFCA’s 2023-2024 Moot Court packet.
