The following policy statement on Credit for Judging Moot Court Competitions
was established by the Commission on Continuing Legal Education on November
13, 2003, and revised on February 7, 2006. Please contact Margot Millar,
Executive Director, with any questions. Judging Moot Court Competitions at American Bar Association-accredited
law schools most resembles teaching law students and application for credit
should be made on Form 8-B. Under the restrictions of the Rule, the Commission
on Continuing Legal Education will give credit for the time spent hearing
the arguments plus the amount of time spent in preparation up to the time
of the argument (or a maximum of 2x the time of argument.) Such credit
will be categorized as teaching credit and subject to the restriction
of CLE Rule 8(B)(5); the law school may be able to assist participants
with credit. Judging the Delaware and National Mock Trial Competitions, likewise,
will be eligible for credit under Rule 8-B. Under the restrictions of the
Rule, the Commission on Continuing Legal Education will give credit for
the time spent attending the training session, the time spent hearing
the arguments, plus the amount of time spent in preparation up to the
time of the argument (or a maximum of 2x the time of argument), with total
time given not to exceed six credit hours. Such credit will be categorized
as teaching credit and subject to the restriction of CLE Rule 8(B)(5). |
