Unusual Law Tournament at Liberty University

UPDATE: This has been postponed until some time in March by bad weather.

The Business and Transactions Legal Society and the Liberty University School of Law in Lynchburg are sponsoring an intramural business transactions tournament this weekend that is possibly the first of its kind in the nation.

The competitors have been presented with a realistic securities regulation situation that requires them to draft a memorandum explaining and justifying their proposed solutions. The competitors are required to present their proposal to a panel of business professionals, professors from the school of business, and law professors.

The tournament is similar to a moot court tournament in some ways but is based upon what transaction lawyers are more likely to do in practice. The first round is Friday night at Liberty University School of Law beginning at 7 p.m. The final round is Saturday at 10 a.m. The public is invited to attend.
