Overview
In conjunction with the law school faculty, local attorneys, and members of the Massachusetts Judiciary, the Moot Court Honor Board is run entirely by students, providing them with the opportunity to develop and hone their research, writing, and advocacy skills prior to entering the legal community. The Honor Board has two responsibilities: 1) managing and organizing four intra-scholastic competitions; and 2) publishing the Suffolk Journal of Trial & Appellate Advocacy. The three competitions hosted each year are (1) The Honorable Walter H. McLaughlin Appellate Advocacy Competition, (2) The Tom C. Clark Appellate Advocacy Competition, and the (3) The Moot Court Trial Competition. The competitions are carefully designed in order to create the most realistic experience possible. The Board relies upon members of the judiciary and prominent practitioners to serve as judges for every round of each competition. The Suffolk Journal of Trial & Appellate Advocacy is published twice a year. It provides practical and in-depth analyses of current legal issues relating to trial and appellate practice. It is comprised of lead articles submitted by outside authors with expertise in their respective fields, and student-written Notes and Case Comments submitted by MCHB staff members. Journal members select a unique topic, research primary and secondary legal sources, analyze the legal issues facing the trial and appellate advocacy community, and write an original piece for publication.
