Students, especially First Year Students, have limited ways to enhance their resumes in preparation for applying to firms next summer. Moot Court offers a professional network for law students to add to their legal resume and allows first-year law students a unique view into the competitions they can enter in their second and third years. This spring, there are three competitions that you can volunteer in. See the information below to learn more and apply to volunteer.
The Moot Court Program’s competitions are judged by local attorneys and judges. Volunteering in our competitions is a great opportunity to meet local legal professionals. When possible, we like to help with networking by assigning student volunteers with competition judges who work in a field of interest to the volunteer. Please indicate any legal fields you may be interested in.
Spring Semester Competition Information
Please select all dates below that you are available to assist us. You will not be scheduled for all selected dates, however selecting as many dates as you are available allows us to easily schedule all of the volunteers. Before your volunteer schedule is finalized, a member of our Competitions Team will be in contact with you to confirm your schedule! All times, except for February 28 and March 1, are exclusively in the evening.
The Moot Court Program hosts 3 competitions in the Spring Semester, each requiring Bailiffs to assist in running the competitions and trials. Bailiffs call the court to order, keep track of time, escort competitors, and help prevent disqualifying behaviors. This semester, we are only soliciting volunteers to serve as Bailiffs.
With any questions, please contact the Moot Court Program at mootcourt@albanylaw.edu. One of our Competition Chairs or Competition Associates will promptly address any questions you may have! Thank you for volunteering to assist the Moot Court Program!
