The Jacob Burns Moot Court Room is set up like a courtroom and includes a judge's desk, testimony seat, prosecution and defense tables, chairs for viewing trials as well as computer terminals, video monitors and projectors, and voice-activated transcription recorders.

Launched in partnership with the National Center for State Courts in 2002, this moot courtroom has been designed with cutting-edge technology including computer terminals, video monitors and projectors, and voice-activated transcription recorders?to enhance courtroom practice. In fact, the NCSC uses the Jacob Burns Moot Court Room as a classroom to teach judges and lawyers from around the world how to use such high-tech equipment in their own courtrooms. In addition to hosting moot and trial court competitions, this room often houses speakers and small lecture series. Students may join the Moot Court, Mock Trial, or Alternative Dispute Resolution Boards by competing in one of the Board?s competitions at various times during the first or second year of law school. Please feel free to look through the windows and, if the room is empty, to step inside.
