Taking last year's oral advocacy skills seminar to the next level, the NCADA
Young Lawyers Committee is pleased to offer an opportunity for young lawyers to
hone appellate advocacy skills through lecture and moot court arguments.
On the day of the seminar, attendees will be assigned a section number and
identified as either the petitioner or respondent advocate. After two
elimination rounds of argument, highest scoring advocates will present their
argument at the N.C. Supreme Court in front of judges, including North Carolina
Supreme Court Justice Paul Newby.
Participants will sharpen their advocacy skills and receive feedback regarding
their oral advocacy techniques from some of the state's top attorneys and
judges. Materials will be provided in advance of the seminar and attendees
are encouraged to review the materials in order to be prepared to argue both
sides. Attendance is limited to 32 participants. Non-participating
attorneys are welcome to attend as well.
