Mississippi College School of Law Moot Court Board Membership requires strong legal research and writing abilities and superior oral advocacy skills.  Each fall, in addition to conducting an intra-school appellate competition among the second-year law students, the Board competes in state and national trial and appellate advocacy programs.  Historically, the MCSOL Moot Court Board has placed high among national competitors, gaining and reinforcing its reputation of excellence in the academic and professional communities.  Moreover, the Board annually hosts multiple lectures given by judges and practitioners with experience before the United States Supreme Court as part of its Supreme Court Practice Series.
