DePaul University College of Law and the Lawyers' Committee for Cultural Heritage Preservation have announced registration for the seventh annual National Cultural Heritage Law Moot Court Competition. The competition will be held February 26-27 at the Everett M. Dirksen United States Courthouse, in Chicago, Illinois. From the announcement:
The 2016 Competition will focus on the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act and other procedural issues raised by a suit brought in U.S. court by the Acropolis Museum against the British Museum seeking restitution to Greece of the Parthenon Marbles.
Registration is open for two- and three-member student teams from ABA-accredited or provisionally accredited law schools until November 19, 2015. The organizers are also looking for judges for which CLE credit is available.
Moot court competitions are terrific. They were where I found my passion for this work, and the level of preparation and thought that students bring (without the baggage of real-life practice) is always refreshing. Hope to see you there.
