family. The Moot Court Board selects
from among the students participating
in the Myerowitz Competition
the school's three-member
National Moot Court Team. The
National Team then represents the
school the following year in the
national competition sponsored by
the Association of the Bar of the
City of New York.
Upon recommendation of the
faculty advisor to the Moot Court
Board, students receive one credit
per semester for each semester of
participation in the Moot Court
program after the first round. Students
chosen to serve on the National
Team may receive for this
activity one additional credit during
each semester of their third
year. Moot Court credit is earned
on a pass/fail basis.
In addition to the school's National
Team, other teams represent
the school in nationwide competitions,
which have included: The
Jerome Prince Invitational Evidence
Moot Court Competition,
The Kaufman Securities Moot
Court Competition, The Benjamin
N. Cardozo Entertainment and
Communications Law Moot Court
Competition, and The Jessup International
Moot Court Competition.
The Moot Court Board selects
these teams on the basis of
individual performance in the Myerowitz
Competition. With the approval
of a faculty member, students
may receive credit for their
participation as one-credit independent
written work or as part of
their work in a seminar or course.
