Gearing Up for Moot Court

Looking back at my old posts, I see that I haven't mentioned moot court in months. Get ready for a flurry of posts on the topic, because it's about to start occupying a lot of my time. My two partners and I have registered for the Wechsler First Amendment Moot Court Competition at American University in Washington, D.C. (greetings to any of my competitors who arrive here after Googling that phrase). We have the month of September to write our brief, then the first three weeks of October to practice for oral arguments. That's a tight schedule--I had three months to do the same stuff last fall--but I'm sure we're up to the task.
