About Competing
Jenckles is a great way to develop your public speaking and critical evaluation skills. Additionally, you’ll also get feedback from judges, who are experiencing practicing local attorneys. If that’s not enough to entice you, those that do well can win money, awards, and a chance to represent Arizona State University against the University of Arizona for the coveted Jenckes Cup!
You and a teammate (you can register with a partner, or let the Moot Board match you up with another individual) will give a 15-minute closing argument based on a closed case file. No additional research is required.
More info and tips are available on our Internal Competitions page.
IF YOU SIGN UP, YOU ARE EXPECTED TO SHOW UP! If you don’t show or if you cancel without adequate notice, unless there’s an emergency, you will be banned from competing for 1 year.
Competition Max Limits: (First-Come, First-Served) The sign up will close when we have hit the max. This is strictly first-come, first-served. No preference will be given to any year. Max of 60 competitors (in 30 teams of two competitors each).

About Volunteering
Volunteering to be a timer or client for this competition is a great way to observe others compete and hear the feedback they provide to competitors. You can see what competing in a Moot Court Competition is like with no risk!
