All students at Washington & Lee may participate in the Moot Court program. First year students are limited to helping in roles as bailiffs, clients, witnesses and time keepers. Second and Third year students may compete so long as they have signed and submitted the Participation Agreement after reading the Professionalism Policy and Grievance Procedure.
Resume Rule: you cannot put Moot Court competitions on your resume until you've actually competed. Signing up for a competition does not suffice, you must have actually competed in order to list a competition on your resume. Read the complete Resume Rule to make sure you accurately describe your moot court participation on your resume.
Why does professionalism matter? Moot Court involves the efforts of your peers and faculty, as well as the time of federal judges. Professionalism also matters because there is very little wiggle room in the schedule. We understand that the calendar is busy, but we have informed you of the time commitments involved with each competition. If you sign up, you must compete.
