HOW TO BECOME A MEMBER OF MCHB
1Ls
Twelve first-year students are invited to join the Board each year. Eight are invited based on their performance in the First-Year Appellate Advocacy Competition. Two are invited based on their performance in the 1L Mock Trial Competition. Two are invited based on their cumulative performance during all first-year competitions.
All applicants -- even those who believe they will be invited on based on Appellate Advocacy or Mock Trial performance -- must fill out membership applications. Applications for membership will be available near the end of Spring quarter. Individuals selected for membership are generally notified in early to mid-summer, prior to the submission deadline for OCI resumes.
2Ls
Eight second-year students are invited to join the Board each year. Two are invited based on their performance in the 2L/3L Mock Trial Competition. Two are invited based on their performance in the Judson Falknor Appellate Advocacy Competition. Four are invited based on their cumulative performance during all competitions during their first and second years.
3Ls
3L students are generally not invited to join MCHB. Some students, however, may occasionally be invited on to the Board as Special Selections.
Detailed information about our selection process is available in our Bylaws.
