About HUMC
Educating undergraduates about legal policy through simulated legal argumentation.
Our mission
Harvard Undergraduate Moot Court educates undergraduate students about legal policy through the simulated legal argumentation provided by the American Moot Court Association. Our goal is to allow students interested in pursuing a passion for the law to do so as undergraduates, rather than having to wait until they are eligible to enter law school.
What is moot court?
Moot court is an activity that promotes the development of legal knowledge, public speaking, critical thinking, and argumentation skills. At the undergraduate level, it is run primarily by the American Moot Court Association (AMCA), alongside students from over 100 colleges nationwide.
Through AMCA’s program, students work closely with a case provided by the association. Each participant has the opportunity either to argue in front of a panel of judges or to write a legal brief that contains their ideas.
Our history
Founded with the vision of bringing competitive moot court to Harvard’s undergraduate community, HUMC has grown into an organization that has participated in multiple invitationals and plans to register for the AMCA.
