About the Competitions Division
MCB Competition Staff Editors represent our program at an array of national competitions. 2L members engage in an intensive training program in oral and written advocacy in their first semester; their second semester is spent preparing for and competing in an interschool moot court competition.
In the 3L year, a few advocates are selected to compete on NYU’s behalf at two national moot court competitions while others serve as coaches for each 2L competition team.
Note: The Philip C. Jessup International Law Moot Court Competition is no longer being housed by MCB. Please reach out to Hauser at law.global@nyu.edu if you are interested!
