Student teams from all over the country were checked in at the Fitchburg State University Campus Center as the university once again hosts the American Moot Court Association's Eastern Regional Undergraduate Moot Court Qualifying Tournament. Student teams and coaches from as far away as California and Louisiana registered for the event. Event coordinator, Economics, History and Political Science Professor Paul Weizer, welcomed volunteer judges, as well as the competing teams. This competition will span this afternoon and all day tomorrow.
President Hodge stopped by to hand out some swag and share some words of encouragement with the Fitchburg State University team. Good luck to all competitors!
Moot Court competition (simulated legal argumentation before hypothetical
appellate courts) has long been an educational opportunity limited to the law school environment. The ultimate goal of the American Moot Court Association (AMCA) is to build a system of top-quality undergraduate moot court competitions in America.
