ORDER OF THE BARRISTERS







                      The Order of the Barristers is a national honorary organization

                      that encourages the development of oral advocacy and legal

                      writing skills through effective law school moot court, mock

                      trial, and ADR programs.  The Order also serves to recognize, on

                      a national basis, graduating law students who have excelled in
                      advocacy activities in their respective law schools.  Martindale-

                      Hubbell acknowledges membership in the Order by listing the

                      distinction in a lawyer’s biography – one of the few scholastic

                      honors that rates such a mention.




                      Applicants must be graduating 3Ls.  To be eligible, a student

                      must have competed in a minimum of three intra-scholastic and/
                      or inter-scholastic competitions, and it is important to note that

                      our Order also considers service and professionalism as a part of

                      the selection process.  The National Office allocates 10 Barrister

                      slots to UHLC each year.
