This research guide contains many pages. Some of them contain general resources to help you research, write, and argue a brief for any of the moot court competitions. Other pages contain information specific to a particular moot competition. When you are begining your moot court problem, use the resources on this page, the page devoted to your moot court competition and then explore the resources suggested on the Legal Writing Resources, Locating Appellate Briefs & Oral Arguments, and Oral Advocacy Resources pages. This year we have added a new page Resources on Virtual Oral Arguments. To learn more about the Advocacy Programs at Boston College Law School here.

In their professional lives, courtroom lawyers must do these two things well: speak persuasively and write persuasively. In this noteworthy book, two noted legal writers systematically present every important idea about judicial persuasion in a fresh, entertaining way. The book covers the essentials of sound legal reasoning, including how to develop the syllogism that underlies any argument.

Finally, they show what it takes to succeed in oral argument.
