RALEIGH — Campbell Law School will host the American Bar Association (ABA) Law Student Division Regional Client Counseling Competition on Feb. 9110, 2024.
The competition is expected to include nine teams, according to Director of Competitive Advocacy Mary Ann Matney ’17.
“We are looking for attorneys, judges and counselors to judge the preliminary rounds of the competition on Friday, Feb. 9, from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. the semifinal rounds of the competition on Saturday, Feb. 10, from 8:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. and the final round on Saturday from 12:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.,” Matney said. “Your help would really contribute to the success of this competition.”
The ABA’s Client Counseling Competition promotes greater knowledge and interest among law students in the preventative law and counseling functions of law practice and encourages students to develop interviewing, planning, and analytical skills in the lawyer-client relationship in the law office. The competition simulates a law office consultation in which student lawyers conduct an interview with a “client.” Following the interview, the student lawyers explain how they would proceed further in the hypothetical situation.
