Scott Moot Court Competition

The Scott Moot Court Competition is Loyola's intramural competition for upper-division students who wish to represent Loyola in three major moot court competitions: the Jessup International Moot Court Competition, sponsored by the American Society of International Law; the National Moot Court Competition, sponsored by the Association of the Bar of the City of New York; and the ABA Competition.

In the Spring semester, those students entering the Scott Moot Court Competition independently research and write an appellate brief on a moot court problem. After completing their briefs, competitors participate in oral argument rounds. The 16 top-ranked students at the end of the competition become members of the Scott Moot Court Honors Board the following year. The Board consists of a Chief Justice, 4 Associate Justices and 11 members of Loyola's three competitive teams. Students in the competition receive two units of credit.
