The Howard Law Journal is scheduled for publication three times each year. The National Moot Court Team participates in competitions nationwide and sponsors an intramural competition. While most of the national competitions are in the appellate advocacy setting, the team competes in several trial advocacy and negotiating competitions. Students are selected for participation on the moot court team either by their performance in Legal Reasoning, Research, and Writing, or through their participation in the Charles Hamilton Houston Moot Court Competition. The International Moot Court Team represents the school in the Jessup International Moot Court Competition.
Participation is open to all law students.
The Barrister, the law school student newspaper, publishes several issues throughout the year and represents an important instrument to relay valuable information and to voice student concerns. Student organizations are an integral part of our everyday life and have a significant impact on the entire law school community. The Student Bar Association is the umbrella student organization, and each class has a separate governing body. Many organizations represent students from diverse ethnic backgrounds, including African Americans, Latinos, Africans, Caribbean Islanders, and Asian-Pacific Islanders. Other organizations include three active law fraternities as well as organizations providing professional, educational, social, and political development for their members and the law school community.
