LAWRENCE – The University of Kansas School of Law’s moot court program is 14th in the nation, according to rankings published recently by the University of Houston Law Center.
The rankings are determined by a point system, awarding point values in various categories for successes in regional and national competitions throughout the year. KU Law has earned enough points to rank in the top 30 teams nationally for the past seven years.
“Our students were amazing this season,” said Pamela Keller, clinical professor of law and director of KU’s moot court program. “They all worked incredibly hard in their individual competitions. We had more teams advance to the upper, elite rounds of competitions than ever before.”
Keller gives special recognition to 3L moot court members whose commitment to the team approach made all the difference.
“They understand that by doing practice rounds with other council members and mentoring students in our 2L in-house competition that they not only advance their own advocacy skills but also make our program stronger as a whole,” Keller said.
For the second year in a row, a KU Law team won the top prize at the National Native American Law Students Association Moot Court Competition. Emily Depew and Douglas Bartel celebrated their win with fellow teammates and their coaches, KU Law alumni Nancy Musick, L’19, Chris Carey, L’19, and Judge Shawn Watts, lecturer in law.
