About Us
The Moot Court Honor Society is devoted to the art and
technique of appellate advocacy, with the ultimate goal of training
outstanding appellate litigators. The Society seeks to achieve this
goal in two ways: through classroom training and through participation
in intramural and interscholastic appellate advocacy competitions.
After being invited to join the Society, students enroll in
Appellate Advocacy, a course that focuses on advanced training in brief
writing and research, oral advocacy, and appellate procedure. The
course culminates in the Ilana
Diamond Rovner Competition, an intramural appellate advocacy
competition at the end of the fall semester. Students are selected to
represent Chicago-Kent in interscholastic competitions based on their
performance in the course.
Interscholastic competitions are the cornerstone of the
Society's activities. Each year, Chicago-Kent students compete in the
ABA National Appellate Advocacy Competition and the National Moot Court
Competition sponsored by the Bar Association of the City of New York.
In addition to these two prestigious national competitions,
Chicago-Kent sends teams to participate in a variety of regional,
local, and university-sponsored competitions. The Moot Court Honor
Society has an outstanding success
record in these competitions.
