The ABA NAAC Moot Court team is Drake Law School’s general-topic spring moot court competition team.  The National Appellate Advocacy Competition (NAAC) is organized by the American Bar Association (ABA) and emphasizes the development of written and oral advocacy skills through a realistic advocacy experience.  Two teams of three individuals are selected each year to compete.   The ABA releases a hypothetical appeal to the United States Supreme Court and each team writes a brief and argues in the regional competition in front of a mock court.  The regional competitions are held at six different locations across the nation.  The winner of each regional competition moves on the finals.
