The Hillis Clark Martin & Peterson 1L Appellate Advocacy Competition gives participants the opportunity to write a brief and present an oral argument with a teammate. Participants advance past the preliminary rounds based on accumulated points, and the field is narrowed during the quarterfinal, semifinal, and final rounds.
1Ls may now opt out of doing the brief writing component. 1Ls may still do the brief and be eligible for 1L Brief Awards, but their brief will not affect how they do in oral rounds. 1Ls who choose not to do the brief are asked to submit an outline and attend a practice round for oral arguments instead. See rules for details.
