Moot Court Programs
Columbia Law School’s Moot Court programs consist of the first-year Foundation Program, the external moot courts, and the Harlan Fiske Stone Moot Court Competition. Each provides students with the opportunity to develop their written and oral advocacy skills.
Participation in the first-year program is mandatory for all first-year students, whereas Stone is an elective activity for upperclass students. In addition to these "intramural" programs, Columbia participates in other national moot court competitions (e.g. Frederick Douglass, NALSA, and Jessup). First-year students may use participation in these national competitions to satisfy their Foundation Moot Court requirement.
