Upper-year moot court competitions offer exciting opportunities to develop legal skills and delve into a particular area of law. 

The following programs (listed by registration deadline) are sponsored by external organizations and companies and span a broad range of legal topics.  Although Columbia does not sponsor or vet these competitions, students may wish to explore them on an extracurricular basis. 

If you have an interest in participating in an external moot court competition with the support of Columbia's Moot Court Program, please complete this form and send an email to Amanda Sen Villalobos ([email protected]) to let us know you have an interest and completed the form.
