Moot Court
Moot Court programs are an important part of legal training at Northwestern Law. They prepare students for and allow them to participate in appellate arguments. Working under faculty supervision, students prepare briefs and present oral arguments in competition with schools across the nation and around the world.
Legal Journals
Second- and third-year law students have the opportunity to participate on one of Northwestern Law's six student-edited legal journals. Students participating on journals have the opportunity to select, edit, and write cutting-edge scholarship; to pursue leadership opportunities by serving on a journal leadership team; and to work closely with other journal members in advancing the journal's goals. For more information about how to join a journal and what to expect, see the journals home page and the websites of each individual journal.
