May 12-15: Seattle - 2014 Hillis Clark Martin & Peterson 1L Appellate Advocacy Competition #MCLE

The HCMP 1L Appellate Advocacy Competition is open to first year students and provides them with the opportunity to practice their brief writing and oral advocacy abilities. The competition features two preliminary rounds and three elimination rounds (quarterfinal, semifinal, and final). As a judge in this competition, you provide feedback and evaluate the participants’ performance. Attorneys from all practice areas are welcome!
Judging for a UWLS competition is an opportunity to provide law students with valuable feedback on their trial advocacy skills. Volunteer judges are also invaluable to the continued success of the Moot Court Honor Board and the in-house competition program.
Each round of competition entails a time commitment of substantive work (training, listening to competition rounds, grading and delivering feedback) of approximately 3 to 3.5 hours.
