Innovative AMC3 The Appellate Moot Court Collegiate Challenge (AMC3) is a groundbreaking program where Tennessee undergraduates argue appellate cases with their peers. Tennessee colleges prepare a brief and send legal teams of undergraduates to argue as petitioner and respondent about a legal problem. The Tennessee Intercollegiate Supreme Court presides, assisted by Court-appointed magistrates in the preliminary round. AMC3 arguments occur in Nashville concurrently with the General Assembly of the Tennessee Intercollegiate State Legislature (TISL). A preliminary and an intermediate round will select finalists to compete for the championship. The Jury of View, comprised of professional lawyers, scores participants and determines finalists. On the morning of the fourth day (Sunday), the Supreme Court will deliver its decision and present awards to the best teams, lawyers and justices. |
