Frances Carr Competition
The Carr Competition offers students the opportunity to participate in a mock trial and compete against other UC Davis Law Students.
Participants (aka, "attorneys" in the case) who enroll can earn one credit for their participation, even if they have already competed in the Carr Competition before. Participation requires competing in the preliminary rounds and attending the boot camp. Please note—though 1Ls can compete, they cannot receive any credit for competing.
