Robert Lee Tullis Moot Court Competition

The Tullis Moot Court Competition is the annual, appellate, intraschool competition for 2Ls that determines the members of the following year's Moot Court Board.  Teams consists of two students who write an appellate brief and argue the case before a panel of judges.

The tournament consists of two preliminary rounds, with the top 16 teams advancing to the elimination rounds. Those teams then compete in a one-loss elimination bracket until a champion is determined. Awards are also given to the top oral advocates and the top briefs. The two winners will have their names inscribed on the Law Center's Tullis plaque, and the highest scoring students will be appointed to the Moot Court Board for the following year.
