POLS 261 - Moot Court

In Moot Court, students will grapple with contemporary questions of constitutional law. For example, does brain imaging violate one’s right against self-incrimination? Is solitary confinement cruel and unusual punishment? Students will learn how to successfully argue a court case and write a legal brief and interested students will have the opportunity to compete in the regional and perhaps even national American Moot Court Association competitions. The public speaking and legal writing skills gained through this course will definitely aid any students interested in law school or any type of public advocacy.
