If you're interested in sharpening your writing and advocacy skills while diving deep into transactional health law, the JHLI Moot Court Team is a standout opportunity. Each year, JHLI sponsors two student teams for the L. Edward Bryant Jr. National Health Law Transactional Moot Court Competition, held at Loyola University Chicago School of Law. This competition challenges you to advise a hypothetical health care client on complex regulatory and statutory issues, offering a realistic glimpse into the advisory side of legal practice. You'll compete in both written and oral advocacy, and receive mentoring throughout the process from JHLI faculty, alumni coaches and practicing health law attorneys. It’s an excellent way to strengthen your legal analysis and public speaking skills, gain confidence and connect with leading professionals in the field.
