Barristers’ Council provides students the opportunity to develop advocacy and counseling skills, and then apply those skills in moot court, mock trial, and transactional competitions. Each year, student members of the Barristers’ Council sharpen, polish, and apply their advocacy and counseling skills through individual coaching, law school programs, intraschool competitions, and interschool (external) competitions. Third-year students and experienced attorneys serve as judges for the competitions and provide valuable feedback to all competitors. Students who demonstrate excellent performance in intraschool competitions have the opportunity to represent Colorado Law at competitions against other top law schools around the country. Students with exceptional dedication and promise have the opportunity to serve in leadership roles on Barristers' Council during their third-year of law school.

• Mock Trial
  
  • The Mock Trial Division of Barristers’ Council offers law students the ability to learn, practice, and hone trial skills before appearing as barred attorneys. In the Fall semester, 1Ls have the opportunity to learn about the Mock Trial program by serving as a witness for 2Ls and 3Ls competing in Colorado Law’s annual Jim R. Carrigan Cup Student Trial Competition. Then, during the Spring semester, 1Ls can put their litigation skills to the test in the annual mock trial competition against the University of Denver Sturm College of Law, where they will be coached by CU's Mock Trial National Team Members and judged by practicing attorneys and local judges. As 2Ls and 3Ls, law students can compete in the aforementioned Carrigan Cup as well as try out for Colorado Law's National Mock Trial Team, through which students compete all over the country in prestigious external competitions. Currently, the AAJ National Team are the reigning Regional Champions of the American Association for Justice Student Trial Advocacy Competition.
  • For more information, please contact: Phoebe Schneider, Mock Trial President at phoebe.schneider@colorado.edu or join the Mock Trial Canvas Page.
• Moot Court
  

  • Moot Court simulates appellate-level proceedings, wherein law students are given the opportunity to write an appellate-style brief and present oral argument in front of a panel of judges. 2L and 3L students are invited to compete in the Breanna Boss Memorial Internal Moot Court Competition (Boss) in the fall semester for a chance to qualify for the Moot Court division of Barristers’ Council. Participation in Boss is required for students to take part in Colorado Law's Rothgerber Moot Court Competition in the spring, as well as external appellate advocacy competitions that take place all over the country. These competitions allow participants to develop their legal writing and showcase their oral advocacy skills in front of fellow students, practicing attorneys, and various federal and state judges.

  • For more information, please contact: Maddie Curry, Moot Court President, at macu8665@colorado.edu or join the Moot Court Canvas Page.

• Transactional
  
  • Transactional competitions provide law students interested in transactional law with the opportunity to hone their contract drafting, negotiation and arbitration skills. 1Ls are invited to participate in the Spring intraschool competition, where students will tackle the drafting and negotiating of an M&A-style deal. Students will be coached and judged by practicing transactional attorneys.  As 2Ls and 3Ls, law students are able to tryout for the National Transactional Team, where students compete all over the country in various competitions, focusing on practice areas of choice such as entrepreneurial law, sports law, bankruptcy, intellectual property, and more.

The Federalist Society for Law and Public Policy Studies is a group of individuals interested in the current state of the legal order in our country and those who thirst for intellectual debate and a diversity of viewpoints. It is composed of conservatives, libertarians, and anyone on the political spectrum who is interested in debating and defending the principles the Society was founded on: federalism, the role of the state is to preserve freedom, the separation of governmental powers is central to our Constitution, and the duty of the judiciary is to say what the law is, not what it should be.

Its intellectual network extends throughout the legal community and offers students the opportunity to interact with judges, government officials, accomplished attorneys, professors, and other non-profit organizations. The Federalist Society sponsors speakers, debates, and panels designed to promote stimulating discussion and interest in current legal issues.  The group is non-partisan and is traditionally made up of all political views. Recent speakers include Ilan Wurman, Brian Morris, Ilya Shapiro, Todd Zywicki, Josh Blackman, Ken Klukowski, Jason Riley, and Jamil Jaffer.

There are many different elected positions in the student chapter.  Every student is invited to attend the Federalist Society National Student Symposium, which is held each year during March at a different law school throughout the country.  Past locations include University of Virginia (2016), Columbia University (2017), Georgetown University (2018), Arizona State University (2019), and University of Michigan (2020). Travel and accommodation stipends available.

The Federalist Society offers one of its officers the chance to attend the Student Leadership Conference. In recent years this has been held at the Ritz-Carlton in Washington, DC and at the Ritz-Carlton in Amelia Island, FL.

The University of Colorado Law school is home to the country’s first criminal defense clinic. The state of Colorado has one of the country’s most comprehensive statewide public defense systems. Recent law school classes at Colorado law have shown an increased interest in public defense as a career path. However, the option of choosing a career in public defense is one that many are not aware of until well into their time here. It is the goal of PDA to provide new students with information about the possibility of public defense as a career path and to continue to strengthen the network of dedicated criminal defense advocates in the student body as they prepare to enter the legal community post-grad.

The Public Interest Students Association strives to involve students in service to the community during law school. We provide both legal and general community service opportunities to members, including Public Service Pledge opportunities. Throughout the year, we bring in speakers from public interest fields from nonprofit organizations, public defense, criminal prosecution, governmental work (local, state, and federal), and environmental law. Active members have the opportunity to apply for summer fellowships to make summer public interest worth an attractive summer option. We also partner with many other student groups, associations, and the Career Services Office to provide opportunities for students to advance environmental and social justice while engaging in networking opportunities within the greater legal community.
