律师委员会

Are you interested in improving your advocacy skills? Consider becoming involved with the 律师委员会 which hosts on-campus competitions and supports off-campus competitions. Current students should join the BOA's page on SMU360

Participation in an off-campus competition earns 1.0 hour of academic credit. Participating students are enrolled in the course credit by the registrar's office following tryouts and confirmed commitment to a team. You must satisfactorily participate in all practices and travel to the competition to receive a passing grade. Consult the SMU Law 目录 for the most current information.

SMU Law offers a variety of on-campus competitions annually for current students. Opportunities include the Lynn Pinker 模拟法庭 Competition, the Gibson Dunn Top Gun 模拟试验 Competition, 1 l近, and on-campus negotiations.
