The National Security Law Moot Court Competition is an Interscholastic competition traditionally held every other year in Washington D.C.  By competing in the nation's capital, students will be able to argue national security issues in front of distinguished panel of recognized experts in the field. Judges in the past have included former White House Counsel, Lloyd Cutler, former director of the CIA, William Webster, and Judge David B. Sentelle of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.

The weekend long competition includes a welcoming party and an awards banquet with prize money and plaques for the winning team, the best brief, and the best orator. The final round has been covered in the past by C-SPAN.
