April 29, 2024 | SMU Invited to Prestigious National Moot Court Competition

Each year, the University of Houston Law Center's Blakely Advocacy Institute hosts an invitation-only national moot court competition. Thanks to the numerous wins by our 2023-2024 teams, SMU Law received an invitation for the 2025 competition. Our advocates look forward to representing SMU and our award-winning reputation. The team will be assembled in the fall and coached by four of our dedicated adjunct professors of advocacy: Lance Caughfield, Haleigh Jones, Jacob Mathew, and Joshua Yun.
