The 2007-08 ABA Law Student Division National Appellate Advocacy Competition (NAAC) National Finals
Topic: The case involves two issues: (1) whether an unmarried man is eligible for asylum based on an oppressive population control policy directed toward his ex-wife, and (2) whether a federal court of appeals has jurisdiction to review the Board of Immigration Appeals' use of agency streamlining procedures, or whether the agency's use of those procedures is a decision that is committed to agency discretion by law.
Teams from Harvard University Law School and University of Memphis, Cecil C. Humphreys School of Law demonstrate their skills in oral advocacy in the 2007-08 ABA Law Student Division NAAC National Finals.
This video captures the National Championship final round in its entirety - including the judges' critique. Use the video to help you prepare for the NAAC or as a tutorial in effective advocacy techniques.
The final round was held April 5, 2008 at the courtroom of the Illinois Supreme Court in Chicago, IL.
