POLS 315 Moot Court II
In this course, students learn advanced oral advocacy and research skills. Students will work with a hypothetical Supreme Court case provided by the American Collegiate Moot Court Association. Appellate court decisions are more than a statement of who wins and loses a challenge; when the court makes a decision, it has far reaching policy implications for government and citizens. Students will learn about these policy implications by developing their own novel policy arguments,while applying existing Supreme Court precedent. Students also learn to effectively respond to questions from judges, and arguments from opposing counsel, by preparing multiple briefs answering key questions in the case. Students are required to participate in a regional speaking competition and a national writing competition.
