This year's event will be expanded to three rounds. With preliminary rounds scheduled for Saturday, October 23, Moot Court offers Wabash students an opportunity to engage in legal argumentation with training and support from fellow Wabash Alumni who are now practicing attorneys. The event is geared for undergraduates.
Students receive materials needed to argue a hypothetical case before a panel of judges.
Practicing attorneys provide coaching. Competition comes from fellow students. Prior legal knowledge or experience is not necessary. Each student will argue in two preliminary rounds, once for the plaintiff and once for the defense. This year's judges for the Final Round include Dr. Mauri Ditzler, Dean of the College, the Honorable William Garrard, Indiana Court of Appeals, and the Honorable Margaret Robb, Indiana Court of Appeals.
