Welcome
to the website for Texas' #1 ranked undergraduate Moot Court team!
Moot Court is an
appellate litigation simulation program in which participants argue assigned
cases in front of a mock appellate court. Participants receive invaluable
experience in legal research, brief writing and, of course, oral argument.
While ubiquitous in law
schools, competitive Moot Court at the undergraduate level is still relatively
rare and a recent phenomenon. The University of North Texas pre-law program has
been on the cutting edge of this trend. Consequently, NT consistently fields
one of the best teams in the nation.
In the 2004-2005 school
year the NT Moot Court team won every state-wide undergraduate tournament, and
placed third nationally. In the 2005-2006 school year we were ranked the number
one team in the state
