The national Thomas Tang Moot Court Competition (“TTMC”) takes place at the NAPABA Convention each year and students compete in their regions and then advance to the national competition.
Amanda Yu and Christopher Arcitio will be assisting in coordinating the Northeast Regional Competition in New York City on September 27, 2024 from 9am to 5pm at the United States Court of International Trade at One Federal Plaza, New York, New York under the leadership of Judge Jennifer Choe-Groves of the United States Court of International Trade.
Amanda and Christopher are looking for volunteers to serve as brief graders or bailiffs for the Northeast Regional Competition. The brief graders would be practicing attorneys (preferably who have been practicing 4 years or more) and the bailiffs would be current law students or first and second year attorneys. Volunteers in addition to brief graders and bailiffs can also sign up using the appropriate link below.
Brief graders will have approximately two weeks to grade between 6-10 briefs and brief score sheets would be due September 13, 2024 (Friday) or two weeks before the competition date. Bailiffs and volunteers are asked to come to the courthouse on the date of the competition (September 27, 2024) for a 1.5 hour slot and obtain training on site (keeping track of competition team’s time, preparing and collecting scoresheets, reporting any technology or trial related issues, answering questions, and leading competitors to their competition rooms). The bailiffs and volunteers will also have the opportunity to interact with the TTMC Judges, who are sitting judges on the bench from various state and federal jurisdictions or veteran practicing attorneys.
