Moot Court Rooms

In addition to 27 amphitheater, seminar, and computer lab classrooms, the Law School's teaching facilities include three fully equipped moot court rooms. Moot court rooms are used for a variety of purposes including instruction in trial advocacy and to hold trials for skills competitions such as those sponsored by the Moot Court and Mock Trial Boards.

The Jacob Burns Moot Court Room, the largest of the three, was redesigned in 2002 in partnership with the National Center for State Courts to showcase the development and implementation of next-generation courtroom technology and serve as NCSC's Courtroom Demonstration Center and Classroom. This unique facility gives GW Law students, as well as lawyers and judges from the U.S. and around the world, the opportunity to explore the ways in which technology can be used to enhance litigation practice.

A second moot court room in Stuart Hall is another example of innovative classroom design. The white board/black board panels at the front of the room slide into recessed pockets to reveal a judges bench, allowing the room to be used both for traditional classes and to teach trial advocacy.

The Law School's third moot court room is housed in the Legal Clinics building.
