FINAL CALL For Registration - Deadline November 15th

This is the FINAL CALL for registration in the 2011 Harold H. Greene and Joyce Hens Green National Security Law Moot Court Competition hosted by The George Washington University Law School in Washington, D.C. The competition is February 12th - 13th.

The registration deadline is November 15th and there are only a few spots left. Reminder that both the registration form (available here) and the registration fee must both be received no later than November 15th to be entered. If you have already submitted your form and fee then please disregard this post and we thank you for submitting your entry early.

This is the FINAL CALL for registration in the competition. The deadline to register is November 15th for what is surely to be another great competition.

Here is a sneak peak of this year's exciting problem:

Since the attacks of September 11, 2001, the U.S. government has implemented several new programs purported to aid in securing the United States from future terrorist attacks. Many of these programs have been subject to debate and some have even been criticized in terms of their usefulness and legality.


If interested in how the above debate, state secrets, constitutional law and national security law intersect, then join us for the 2011 Harold H. Greene and Joyce Hens Green National Security Law Moot Court Competition hosted by The George Washington University Law School on President's Day Weekend 2011.

• Compete against 26 other teams from national law schools at GW Law
• Argue before a panel of judges chosen from the CIA, FBI, and National Security Counsel
• The final arguments will likely be broadcast on C-SPAN

The deadline to register is November 15th.

Please e-mail nslmootcourt@gmail.com with any questions regarding registration or the competition. Thank you.

Weather Update: NSL Moot Court Will Continue As Planned

As many of you know, Washington, D.C. has experienced severe winter weather over the last two weeks.  That weather will apparently end today, and all weather reports point to a clear President's Day Weekend.  Accordingly, the NSL Moot Court will go forward as planned.  

Competitors should be aware that sidewalks are currently covered with snow and ice, and area roads are in generally bad condition.  Contestants are strongly encouraged to leave plenty of time to travel to the GW Law School on Saturday and Sunday. 

Please let us know if you have any questions, and we look forward to seeing you all in a few days.
