The Giles Sutherland Rich Intellectual Property Moot Court Competition is an appellate advocacy competition.
Patent law is emphasized.
The national competition is run under the auspices of the American Intellectual Property Law Association.

At each level, teams of two students work together writing their briefs and preparing their oral arguments. This competition is open to all students who have completed their first year.
