The Moot Court National Championship

Here's an exciting development: the Blakely Advocacy Institute at the University of Houston Law Center has announced that it will host the Moot Court National Championship in January 2009.

It'll work like this: programs will earn earn points through strong performances in major moot court tournaments throughout the United States. Details of the process are being finalized. The top 16 programs will convene in Houston for a genuine Texas shootout in what promises to be a memorable tournament of champions.

I will post more information as I receive it.

Kudos to the folks at UHLC for putting this together. In the trial ad world, the NITA Tournament of Champions has done wonderful things to put outstanding students and programs on display, as well as to tighten the community. A moot court analogue is a welcome, welcome thing.
