Upon approval of the faculty, students may earn academic credit for participation in extramural advocacy competitions. Such competitions must involve both written and oral advocacy. So much as competition rules permit, students must perform under substantial, continuous supervision and instruction by an advisor, a full-time law faculty member who shall evaluate each student’s written and oral performance, and determine the number of credits each student has earned. Students may earn no more than two (2) hours credit for participation in a single competition and may apply no more than four (4) hours of Extramural Advocacy Competition (934) credit toward the ninety (90) hours necessary for graduation. Students may receive credit for no more than one extramural advocacy running simultaneously. First-year students are ineligible to participate, except to the extent of trying out for a team if the competition will take place during their second year. (See Externship Rules above for other limitations on credit).
