One of the most tangible ways our alums can give back to our current students is by participating as a judge in the various student competitions throughout the year. Our students use competitions such as Linden Cup, Clarke Family Prize in Legal Ethics, and the Sweetser Closing Argument Competition to sharpen their skills and gain hands-on experience.
Below are the annual competitions we host every year. If you can participate as a judge, please complete the interest form and we will contact you as we start planning for next year’s competition!
