About the Moot Court Program

The Moot Court Program at Ohio Northern University is a program for student participation in appellate advocacy, trial advocacy, and client counseling competitions. The organization is composed of an Executive Board and the Board of Advocates. The Executive Board, under the supervision of a faculty advisor, administers the Moot Court Program. The Board of Advocates consists of students who have participated on a Regional or National team, and the top four students from the Dean Guy Intra-School Appellate Advocacy Competition. The Moot Court Program is funded by Ohio Northern University. The Moot Court Program provides law students with an opportunity to improve their trial, oral advocacy and brief writing skills. This is accomplished through participation in appellate and trial advocacy competitions, as well as client counseling competitions. Team members have the opportunity to compete at both the Regional and National levels. We enjoy an outstanding reputation nationally, and we participate in the most prestigious moot court competitions in the United States.
