About ACMA and the Tournament
Moot Court has long been an educational opportunity limited to the law school environment. The ultimate goal of ACMA is to build a system of top-quality undergraduate moot court competitions in America. Achieving this goal requires the meeting of specific objectives, including the following: a carefully drafted problem with associated authority list, clear, comprehensive, equitable, and uniform rules refined through experience; well-planned, publicized, and directed tournaments; and informed and uniform judging. In pursuit of these ends, ACMA functions under the leadership of an Executive Committee, whose members are listed below. For more information about ACMA and the regional tournaments, including the competition case information, please see the ACMA website.
