Moot Court

The Princeton Mock Trial team holds a semi-annual high-school Moot Court tournament each November and April. Participants spend two days on the scenic campus of Princeton University and compete in five preliminary rounds in two-person teams. Afterward, the top sixteen teams move on to the playoff rounds, and the tournament culminates in a heavily attended final round with a full panel of nine judges. In addition to a challenging level of competition with other high-schoolers, participants enjoy the opportunity to meet Princeton University students involved in similar organizations at the college level.


The Spring 2012 Moot Court Tournament will be held on April 20th and 21st. The Spring 2012 case (updated 3/9/2012) can be found here. Please email princetonmootcourt@gmail.com to request additional information.
