ABOUT THE SKILLS COMPETITION
The practical skills competitions offer students an opportunity to hone the skills that students will use as a practitioner through intra-school, regional, and national competitions. Students will meet with fellow law students and legal practitioners from around the nation.
The Client Counseling competition addresses fundamental skills necessary for all successful attorneys, namely the ability to interview, counsel, and support a client through their legal issue. Competitors conduct an initial interview with a person playing the role of the client and then address both the client’s legal and non-legal needs.
