Innovative AMC3 The Appellate Moot Court Collegiate Challenge (AMC3) is a groundbreaking program where Tennessee undergraduates argue appellate cases with their peers. Tennessee colleges send legal teams of undergraduates to argue as petitioner and respondent about a legal problem. The Tennessee Intercollegiate Supreme Court presides, assisted by special judges 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 who will compete for the championship. The Jury of View, comprised of lawyers, will score participants and determine finalists. On the morning of the fourth day (Sunday), the Supreme Court will deliver its decision, and the Jury of View will present awards to the best teams, lawyers and justices. AMC3 lawyers can also serve as lobbyists, trying to persuade members of the legislative branch to support or oppose bills in the TISL General Assembly. |
