BOA is excited to host our spring intramural trial competition! All students (1Ls to 3Ls) are welcome to participate. The mock trial format runs through an entire trial (opening statements, direct examinations, cross-examinations, and closing).

Bloomberg student rep will table in the atrium to inform students about all the resources Bloomberg can offer them.

This program will answer the following questions: (1) What is a judicial clerk?; (2) Why are clerkships considered to be such a valuable experience?; (3) What do judges look for in clerks?; and (4) How does the role of a clerk vary in different chambers and types of courts? We will also discuss the timing of your own clerkship search, things to be thinking about now if you want to clerk, and how to best position yourself to be a competitive clerkship applicant.

For additional information take a look at these materials: https://law.utexas.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/04/1Ls-Becoming-Successful-Judicial-Clerkship-Candidate.pdf

Lunch will be served. Register for the event by 8:00pm on March 28, 2025

Research faculty meeting to discuss lateral appointments

The Strauss Center is pleased to present a panel on “Drones Over America! Defending the U.S. Homeland from Aerial Threats,” on Tuesday, April 1, with Monique Allen of the Texas Army National Guard, Jason Day of Unmanned Aircraft at the Texas Department of Public Safety, and Brendan Groves of SkyDio. Drones are seemingly everywhere: above military bases, seaports, airports, and even suburban backyards. Who’s sending them? And do government agencies have the authority and tools to take them down? Strauss Center Director Adam Klein will moderate this panel.

For more questions, please contact Ali Prince at ali.prince@austin.utexas.edu.
