First Energy Moot Court Competition in the Nation
WVU Law’s annual energy moot court competition puts students at the center of emerging issues in energy law and cutting-edge developments in sustainable energy production.
Students from law school across the country sharpen their appellate advocacy skills, gain exposure to real-world challenges, and build connections with industry leaders and fellow advocates shaping the future of the field.
WVU Law launched the first national moot court competition dedicated to energy and sustainability in 2011. The event is proudly organized and presented each year by the WVU College of Law Moot Court Board, carrying forward a tradition of leadership and forward-thinking legal education.
