The Academic PROGRAM Co-Curricular Programs In addition to the regular academic program, students are encouraged to participate in co-curricular activities to expand their legal training and understanding. Law Review Trial Teams University of La Verne Law Review is the studentrun and student-edited scholarly publication of La Verne Law. Membership on Law Review is the result of a selective process, based on both grades and successful completion of a writing competition. Each year, Law Review members host a major symposium in additional to publishing the annual legal journal, University of La Verne Law Review. La Verne Law chooses members of its trial teams through a competitive intra-mural school wide competition judged by faculty members and local trial lawyers. Each year, La Verne Law enters teams in competitions such as the National Trial Team Competition, the San Diego Defense Lawyers Mock Trial Competition and the American Bar Association's Section of Labor & Employment Law's annual Law Student Trial Advocacy Competition. Moot Court Students at La Verne participate in several national moot court competitions each year, giving them valuable opportunities to conduct legal research, draft briefs, and present their positions before a panel of experts. Moot Court participants are selected by a faculty panel from applicants who have successfully completed an intensive course of study in advanced Appellate Advocacy. La Verne Law students participate in a myriad of competitions, including the National Criminal Procedure Moot Court Competition, the National Entertainment Law Moot Court Competition, the National Juvenile Law Moot Court Competition, the National Professional Responsibility Moot Court Competition, and the National First Amendment Moot Court Competition. Our law school also supports involvement in competitions sponsored by minority bar associations, such as the National Asian Pacific American Bar Association, the National Black Law Students Association; and the Hispanic National Bar Association. 18 law.laverne.edu Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) Students who take part in the ADR Competition Team participate several times each year in local competitions and in regional competitions sponsored by the ABA Section of Dispute Resolution.
