HOSTS

THE TWENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY
OF THE
JOHN MARSHALL LAW SCHOOL INTERNATIONAL MOOT COURT COMPETITION IN
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AND PRIVACY LAW

OCTOBER 26-28, 2006

The John Marshall Law School Center for Information Technology and Privacy Law cordially invites your school to participate in the TWENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY OF THE JOHN MARSHALL LAW SCHOOL ANNUAL MOOT COURT COMPETITION IN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AND PRIVACY LAW.

Up to forty teams from the United States and around the world will be selected to participate in the competition on October 26-28, 2006, and preference will be given to teams that register early. Please see the Competition Rules for eligibility requirements. Rounds are held in downtown Chicago at The John Marshall Law School. The winning briefs will be published in The John Marshall Journal of Computer & Information Law, the premier academic publication in its field.

The competition is among the most widely respected moot court competitions. In the advanced rounds of previous competitions, the panels have included justices from many state supreme courts as well as federal district and appellate court judges. Distinguished law professors and practitioners judge preliminary rounds.

Each school may enter ONE team consisting of two or three members. The team will submit a written brief in September. While only two team members are permitted to participate in a single round of oral arguments, all three members may argue during the competition. Team members must not have completed a degree in law as of the competition date.

Applications to participate in the competition must be submitted with the registration fee no later than June 15, 2006. The competition problem and rules will be posted on this Web site and notification will be emailed in July. Briefs will be due September 29, 2006. If you have any questions, please contact Pamela Penczak Potter, Program Coordinator in the Center for Information Technology and Privacy Law (312-987-1419) or via electronic mail to itcenter@jmls.edu.
