Counseling Competition News and Results

About the Competition

The Client Counseling Competition is structured to simulate an initial client interview. Teams of two students, acting as attorneys, are critiqued on their communication skills, their ability to analyze the client's problem, and their ability to work well together in accomplishing their goals. The competition does not require in-depth knowledge of the substantive law and is open to all students. It offers students their first exposure to client advocacy in a "real world" setting. Practitioners act as judges and provide instant feedback to the participants.
