20th Annual Competition
November 16-17, 2019
Malibu, CA
On behalf of the Pepperdine University Caruso School of Law Moot Court Board, we would like to invite you to participate in the 20th Annual National Entertainment Law Moot Court Competition to be held at Pepperdine Caruso Law in Malibu on November 16-17, 2019. Each team, consisting of two or three students, will have the opportunity to argue novel entertainment law issues before some of the best entertainment lawyers in Los Angeles, CA.
All teams argue three preliminary rounds. Advancement from the preliminary rounds to the elimination rounds is based on the teams' win/loss records, with point differentials used when necessary. Advancement during elimination rounds is single-elimination. A panel of judges will grade all of the briefs and the average brief grades will count for 40% preliminary rounds, 20% quarter-finals, 10% semi-finals, and 0% during the final round.
Registration begins on Wednesday, July 24, 2019 at 9:00 a.m. PST. In order to reserve a spot in this competition, the registration form and the $600 registration fee must be received by Pepperdine University no later than Friday, September 6, 2019 at 11:59 p.m. PST. The registration date has been extended to make sure you have a chance to register.
The competition is limited to the first 24 teams that submit the registration form and fee. Each school may only enter one team into the competition.
