Anthony V. Cardona '70 Moot Court Program
Hone Your Courtroom Skills
Participation in Moot Court prepares students who represent Albany Law School in some of the most prestigious regional, national and international competitions. These competitions provide excellent experience in legal research, analysis, writing and oral advocacy. Additionally, they provide students with superb networking opportunities and also give students a great sense of accomplishment, teamwork and school spirit.
During the 2023-2024 academic year, Albany Law School will compete in several national competitions, as well as host the 36th Annual Domenick L. Gabrielli Family Law Competition in early March 2024. In addition to these highlights, Albany Law School will continue to host four intra-school competitions: Karen C. McGovern Senior Prize Trials, Donna Jo Morse Client Counseling, Domenick L. Gabrielli Appellate Advocacy, and Donna Jo Morse Negotiations.
