"Do not neglect the gift that is in you......" 1 Timothy 4:14 NKJ
MOOT COURT CAMP
June 28th - July 2nd
Have you ever wondered what it feels like to stand alone -
to rely solely on your work, your intellect, your effort, your
understanding -
to represent a client, or perhaps the entire country, as you present a case to the justices of the Supreme Court of the United States?
Each year, high school students from across the country gather in Washington D.C. for a single weekend of competition to engage in this very experience.
CITE Moot Court Camp will provide that same opportunity.
Whether you are considering the law as a career or are simply interested in knowing more about how our legal system works……..
Designed as a challenging environment for learning and discovery, students will delve deeply into our judicial branch of government by walking in the shoes of an appellate attorney.
Student attorneys will develop their ability to analyze the law and present a compelling argument, improve their public speaking skills and their ability to think on their feet, all the while gaining self-confidence.
Student attorneys will experience:
-Taking a mini-LSAT - the required law school entrance exam
-Taking Socratic mini-law classes on five main areas of study addressed by all law schools
-Walking through a constitutional survey of the preeminent cases defining our judicial system
-Learning the skills of legal research and writing
-Briefing cases and preparing an oral argument
And the opportunity to:
Argue before the Bench in a moot court tournament providing an opportunity to use those skills that have been learned and developed.
All in a fun, relaxed environment where understanding is the focus and enjoyment the priority.
For those who want to learn about what happens after the trial - for those who seek a better understanding of what it means to "interpret the law," moot court camp will provide those answers through an intense hands-on experience that you will never forget.
