Pace Environmental
​Moot Court

​About the Competition

Since 1989, student advocates from across the United States and Canada have participated in the National Environmental Law Moot Court Competition hosted by Pace Law School in White Plains, New York. Recognized as the preeminent environmental law moot in the United States, the competition develops skills in appellate brief writing and oral advocacy.  Issues are drawn from real cases, providing first-hand experience in environmental litigation. The moot court draws in excess of 200 competitors from diverse law schools and 200 attorneys who serve as judges for three days of oral arguments to create a rigorous academic experience.

The competition is distinct in that three adverse teams argue the issues—the government, a public interest group and a member of the regulated industry—reflecting the fact that environmental litigation frequently involves multiple parties.
Teams write and file their briefs in early December and travel to the Pace campus in late February for the oral phase of the Competition. Teams with the highest combined scores for both the written brief and oral argument advance beyond the preliminary rounds.
