The Tulane Intraschool Moot Court Competition provides students with the opportunity to individually compete against their classmates for the honor of being known as the best oral advocate in their class. Each year, Tulane students compete in the Junior (2L) or Senior (3L) competitions for Appellate Advocacy Trial Advocacy, and Alternative Dispute Resolution. In addition, 1Ls are invited to participate in the 1L Open competitions, offering them an opportunity to prepare for Intraschool and Interschool team argue-on competitions the following year.
Finalists in the Junior Trial, Appellate, and ADR competitions are invited to join the Moot Court Board during their 3L year.
The names of the top two Senior Finalists in each competition are immortalized on The Marbles in Room 110. This coveted honor is fiercely pursued by students throughout their 3L year.
