POLS 261 - Moot Court


In Moot Court, students will grapple with fascinating, contemporary questions of Constitutional Law. They will learn how to successfully argue a court case (appeal) and write a legal brief. Interested students will have the opportunity to be chosen to represent Wheaton in the regional, and perhaps even national, American Moot Court Association annual competition. The public speaking and legal writing skills gained through this course will substantially aid any students interested in law school, or any type of public advocacy. This course is very challenging and intensive. (Limited to 12 or fewer students)
