National Native American Law Students Association Moot Court Competition

Every year, the William S. Richardson School of Law participates in the annual moot court competition sponsored by the National Native American Law Students Association (National NALSA).

This year the competition will be hosted in New York by the Columbia Law School National NALSA chapter. You can CLICK HERE to read the competition problem written by Indian law scholar Matthew Fletcher.

After two long days of tryouts in September 2010, the 2010-11 team was chosen.
