Wabash College is pleased to invite the public to the finals round of the 26th annual Wabash College Moot Court competition at 7:30 p.m., Wednesday, Oct, 23, in Salter Hall in the Fine Arts Center.
The competition, sponsored by the Wabash College Rhetoric Department and Indianapolis Association of Wabash Men, provides a unique opportunity for undergraduates to participate in Moot Court, an activity that is a staple at law schools nation-wide. In the annual competition approximately 40 students engage in argumentation and oral advocacy by addressing a prompt drawn from an actual legal controversy.
In the preliminary rounds all students compete twice, arguing each side of the case before judging panels consisting of Wabash College alumni attorneys as well as faculty and staff. Twelve students participate in the semi-final round where they present a single oral argument before a panel of judges consisting of members of the competition’s organizing committee and alumni. From that group, the four finalists are selected for an all-campus oral argument.
