preLaw - Fall 2016 - 43 Best Schools for Moot Court We look at the schools that have excelled in moot court competition since the Andrews Kurth Moot Court National Championship began tracking them seven years ago. By Lori TripoLi Performing well in court takes smarts, skills, dedication and perseverance.
