2Ls!
Join the Moot Court Board!
The Omar Megahed Competition
Informational Meeting
7pm, Thursday, October 23, Room 5240
Each fall, second-year students can compete in an intramural appellate
advocacy competition in which competitors prepare and present oral
arguments from a pre-written brief. Depending on the number of
competitors, between two and four finalists are invited to join the Moot
Court Board. The winner of the Omar Megahed Competition competes in the
competition of winner’s choice (1^st pick!) in the 3L year. This
informational meeting will tell you everything you need to know to
prepare for the competition.
Omar Megahed took his Moot Court Board team to win the Chicago Bar
National Moot Court Competition in 1995. His spirit of excellence is
embodied in this competition.
