David Bordoni is a NY-based attorney who draws upon 25 years of experience to represent corporate and Fortune 500 clients through Malapero Prisco & Klauber, LLP. David Bordoni earned his juris doctor from Boston University, where he was a semifinalist in the school’s moot court competition.
A moot court competition is designed to prepare law students to effectively argue cases before a judge. It simulates a court hearing and is structured to imitate procedures that occur in real courts. Cases selected for moot court generally involve unsettled areas of law that have undergone recent developments. The two law students involved, known as mooters, are required to argue contrasting grounds of appeal.
To prepare for these competitions, students must research the relevant laws concerning the proposed problem, prepare written submissions, and deliver an oral argument in a court setting. By doing so, they not only gain experience in legal writing and research, but also learn how to effectively work with their peers.
Boston University's Edward C. Stone Moot Court Competition is available only to second-year juris doctor students. Working with a partner, students are required to argue one of three problems. The team with the highest combined oral and brief argument scores move on to participate in the Homer Albers Prize Moot Court Competition.
