Regent Law Moot Court

Awards & Specialty Competitions

Each year, Regent students have the opportunity to sharpen their legal writing, oral advocacy, and negotiation skills by competing in a variety of moot court, mock trial, and negotiations competitions across the country. These competitions help students polish the skills fundamental to effective lawyering and reflect the quality of preparation received at Regent Law School. Our students have been extremely successful in competitions at both the regional and national levels.
