  Description

Each year eligible students from six law schools in the District of Columbia are invited to compete in the D.C. Cup Moot Court Competition. The event pits law school against law school in friendly competition, arguing tough cases before a panel of volunteer judges. The competition serves as a rich educational opportunity to promote legal research and writing, analysis, and advocacy. The four-round competition opens with preliminary and semifinal rounds before volunteer judges and closes with a final round of oral arguments in front of a three-judge panel composed of jurists and lawyers of significant professional stature in the District of Columbia. The competition allows law students to brief and argue a case on appeal, honing both their oral advocacy and brief writing skills. In the end, the winning team takes home the cup.
