The final round of this competition is argued before a panel of distinguished judges and lawyers. Arkansas students also compete in national moot court competitions. For example, each fall, students represent the University of Arkansas School of Law in the National Moot Court competition administered by the Bar Association of the City of New York. Ungraded credit may be awarded for participation in inter-school competitions. In 1994, a UA Law School moot court team won first place in the Vanderbilt First Amendment competition.
All students receive training in trial advocacy during their second or third years.
Those interested may compete for the trial advocacy team to represent the school in regional and national competition. Students who are selected as members of an advocacy team that represents the school at regional and national trial advocacy competitions may earn one hour of ungraded academic credit, awarded in the third year. Teams may include both oralists and brief writers. The University of Arkansas School of Law also participates in the American Bar Association's Client Counseling Competition for law students. Both regional and national competitions are conducted.
