The 2008-09 ABA Law Student Division National Appellate Advocacy Competition (NAAC) National Finals
Topic: This year's problem involves two questions. The first is whether congressmen who voted for legislation that the President refuses to obey on the grounds that the legislation is unconstitutional have standing to sue the President for his failure to comply with the legislation. The second is whether a statute setting forth a timetable for withdrawing forces from a previously authorized foreign conflict unconstitutionally infringes on the President's power as Commander in Chief of the armed forces.
Teams from South Texas College of Law and Faulkner University, Thomas Goode Jones School of Law demonstrate their skills in oral advocacy in the 2008-09 ABA Law Student Division NAAC National Finals.
This DVD/ROM captures the National Championship final round in its entirety - including the judges' critique. This DVD/ROM also includes the portable document files of the competition problem (the record) and the bench memorandum. Viewers will gain greater insight to the competitors' presentation, as well as the judges' critiques.
Use the video and competition problem to help you prepare for the NAAC or as a tutorial in effective advocacy techniques.
The final round was held April 4, 2009 at the courtroom of the Illinois Supreme Court in Chicago, IL.
