Free Moot Competition in Chicago April 16th & 17th
Posted: Mon Mar 21, 2011 5:38 pm
Soliciting teams to compete in the first annual University of Chicago National Animal Law Moot Court Competition on April 16th and 17th.
Yes, I know for many this is painfully close to finals. But, preparing for this competition is EASY - it is oral advocacy only. Read a few briefs then practice with your friends. Win or lose, you have something great to add to your resume.
This competition is also FREE (thanks to a generous donation from the McCormick Companion Animals Fund) and I believe travel stipends are available through the Animal Legal Defense Fund.
"Animal law," you groan? Let me assure you, this is not a touchy-feely topic. The legal issue is preemption - and, besides, you will be arguing both sides.
