Spartan teams win.
Your Competitive Advantage. You might not end up practicing courtroom law. Thinking on your feet, being persuasive, and connecting with your audience are assets no matter where your career takes you. MSU Law students showcase their skills in competitions nationwide: trial; negotiation and arbitration; and appellate advocacy. Moot court participants prepare briefs and argue both sides of complicated legal issues before an appellate court – usually a simulated Supreme Court. They compete in front of federal and state judges, practicing attorneys, and law professors.
Participants will:
Gain courtroom experience
Structuring persuasive legal arguments
Analyzing complex cases in a range of legal areas
Work one-on-one with faculty mentors
Network with prospective employers
Earn leadership skills and employment marketability
