Colorado Law to Host 2009 National NALSA Moot Court Competition

Colorado Law, along with the University of Denver Sturm College of Law, have won the bid to co-host the 2009 National Native American Law Students Association annual moot court competition.

The bid award was made at the NNALSA annual conference in Albuquerque in early April of this year.

The competition is scheduled to take place in late February 2009, and will be held in various loctions throughout the Wolf Law Building. Gerald Harris, president of Colorado Law’s NALSA says, “What’s really exciting is that the competition, as good as we hope it turns out to be, will be but a part of a larger event that will include an Indian law conference, cultural events, and much more.”

Recent host law schools include Arizona State (2008), University of Minnesota (2007), and UCLA (2006).

Approximately 60-80 teams are expected to compete, but the number could be as high as 100.  Harris also says that more information on volunteer opportunities will be sent out later this year.
