Sponsored by the ABA, the National Appellate Advocacy Competition (NAAC) offers students the opportunity to argue complex federal, civil and criminal appeals. The NAAC emphasizes the development of oral-advocacy skills through a realistic appellate-advocacy experience. Competitors participate in a hypothetical appeal to the United States Supreme Court.
