Asylum & Refugee Law National Moot Court Competition
The UC Davis Asylum & Refugee Law National Moot Court Competition is the only immigration law moot court competition on the west coast, and the only one in the nation devoted exclusively to the topic of asylum and refugee law. The competition provides law students from across the country the opportunity to participate in a hypothetical appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court. Competitors will write a brief as either respondent or petitioner on an issue related to asylum and refugee law. Shortly after submitting their briefs, students will participate in oral debates arguing for both sides of the issue. Students’ briefs and oral arguments will be judged by prominent judges, attorneys and scholars that specialize in the areas of immigration law and/or appellate advocacy. The Third Annual Competition Registration for the 3rd Annual Asylum & Refugee Law National Moot Court Competition opens on September 28, 2009 and will close on November 25, 2009. Teams of 2 or 3 students from any ABA accredited law school are encouraged to participate. Registration is limited to the first 18 teams to complete and return a registration form and pay the applicable fees. Important Competition Dates Registration: Sept. 28, 2009 – Nov. 25, 2009 Please submit questions to Charlene Krider and Jon Lieberman at asylummootcourt@gmail.com. |
