31sth Annual Duberstein Bankruptcy Moot Court Competition 2023 | St. John's University School of Law | 3 March 2023 | TBA

This event is widely recognized as one of the nation’s preeminent moot court competitions. The competition promotes and recognizes the finest oral and written advocacy on significant issues in bankruptcy practice.

This competition is the largest multidisciplinary membership organization devoted to research and education on insolvency issues.

This Competition is well known for the quality of its judging. Bankruptcy practitioners judge the preliminary rounds and briefs. Advanced rounds are judged by leading appellate and bankruptcy judges from around the country.

This year, we expect the competition to return to the in-person format. Any ABA-accredited law school may enter one team, comprised of two or three students. Each team will argue in at least two preliminary rounds on alternating sides. Sixteen teams will advance beyond the preliminary rounds. All students will receive a certificate of achievement. Students need not have taken a bankruptcy course to do well in the competition.
