All relevant background will be provided to the competitors. The winning team will represent Boston College Law School at the regional competition to be held at the end of February. Because of time constraints this year's competition will be limited to 32 1st year teams. Registration will take place at the training session. If more than 32 teams sign-up teams will be chosen by lottery.
Students compete in teams of two.
Students who do not have partners may sign up on a singles list and form matches from that list. Teams conduct a 30-minute interview with a client after which they have 10 minutes to confer privately about how they would handle the situation. Both the interview and the conference are part of the session that is judged. Two teams compete per room each night. Each group will interview the same client and evaluate the client's situation.
