The Moot Court Board is offering first year students the opportunity to become involved in a new trial skills program. Called the Litigation Skills Competition, this program will allow selected students to begin developing the unique skills necessary for successful and persuasive trial practice. First year students will work with the school's ACTA National Trial Competition competitors and coaches through this program. This is a new idea at the law school, and a rare opportunity for first year students to participate in an extracurricular activity, so students should attend this informational meeting right after class on Friday.
