Enter the LSD’s Appellate Advocacy Competition

The ABA Law Student Division’s National Appellate Advocacy Competition strives to further communication among students from different law schools and provide a forum for the development of oral and written advocacy skills in the context of appellate practice.

Each year, law students research and prepare extensive briefs on a selected legal topic and then argue their issues as they would before an appellate court. The competition judges, actual members of the bench drawn from local communities, challenge students’ understanding of the legal issues through rigorous examination.
