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. Such competitions help students polish those skills fundamental to effective lawyering, and also 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.
