National Professional Responsibility Moot Court Competition

The Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law Moot Court Board is pleased to announce that the First Annual National Professional Responsibility Moot Court Competition will be held on March 9-10, 2012, in Indianapolis, Indiana.

This two-day competition is open to all ABA-accredited law schools throughout the United States and will focus on a question of professional responsibility.

Legal and judicial ethics, professional regulation, professionalism, and client protection pertain to every practitioner, no matter what legal field. The National Professional Responsibility Moot Court Competition will offer students an outstanding opportunity to engage in advocacy on cutting edge professional responsibility concerns. The moot will test skills in appellate brief writing and oral advocacy on two specific issues drawn from real opinions, providing experience in interpreting professional responsibility standards and scholarly resources first hand.

Oral arguments will begin on Friday, March 9 and conclude on Saturday, March 10. All rounds of the competition will take place at Inlow Hall at 530 W. New York St., Indianapolis, IN, 46202.
