Project Chair Travis Gunn at McGuireWoods LLP and YLD Chair Jennifer L. Ligon of Williams Mullen welcome volunteers to serve as appellate judges for the regional competition. Please contact them directly if you are interested.

The 2019 Region IV Round of the National Moot Court Competition, sponsored by the VBA Young Lawyers Division and financially assisted by the Virginia Law Foundation, will be held Nov. 15-16, 2019, at the U.S. Court of Appeals - Fourth Circuit in Richmond, Virginia.

The Young Lawyers Division National Moot Court project coordinates the logistics of a regional brief writing and oral advocacy competition among teams of law students from Virginia, North Carolina, West Virginia and Kentucky. Regional winners move on to compete nationally. YLD project committee members secure members of the judiciary to volunteer as judges to sit on a panel with other members of the bar and bench to evaluate the students' oral arguments.
