The new Detroit Mercy Pre-Law Society will host its First Annual Moot Court Competition on Friday, April 11 at noon, where students of all majors can refine their legal reasoning, public speaking and advocacy skills in a simulated appellate court environment. Participants will present a hypothetical case before a distinguished panel of judges, including UDM faculty.
The competition will follow a traditional moot court format, where multiple teams will present arguments on both sides of a legal issue. This is an oral competition–no writing involved.
This year’s competition will focus on TikTok v. Garland, a case that examines the complex intersection of national security, free speech and corporate rights. Competitors will receive case materials in advance.
It only takes two to make a team for this competition, so find a friend, come up with a team name and sign up! The event will take place in the Briggs Building, and teams will be notified of their location once the match schedule is released.
Participants will also compete for exciting awards and cash prizes, including best dressed, best presenter, most creative speaker and more!
To register, teams must email Pre-Law Program Director Lee Dionne at dionnele@udmercy.edu by March 14.
