The Ernie Goodman Mock Trial Tournament is hosted by the Moot Court Board of Advocates and named for one of Michigan's finest trial attorneys and civil rights advocates, Mr. Ernie Goodman.
The course covers income, estate and gift taxation of gratuitous transfers, estates and trusts, including jointly-held property, pension benefits and life insurance.
Each year the Moot Court Board of Advocates sponsors competitive teams that travel across the country to argue mock appellate cases against law students from other American and Canadian law schools.
Students perform a minimum of 120 hours or a maximum of 180 hours during the semester. Students meet as a class each week and submit time/action reports, keep journals, and write a paper at the end of their experience.
