CMP-7190: GSU Moot Court Competition

The Georgia State University School of Law Health Law and Constitutional Law Moot Court Competition is a national, interdisciplinary advocacy competition examining constitutional law issues arising in the regulation, delivery, financing, and governance of health care, public health, and bioethics. Law schools from across the country may register teams of two to three law students to analyze a contemporary health law controversy presenting significant constitutional questions through written appellate briefs and oral arguments. Competition problems will challenge students to examine the intersection of constitutional doctrine and evolving health law and policy. Potential issues may involve due process and equal protection, federalism, individual rights, administrative authority, reproductive and public health regulation, emerging health technologies, artificial intelligence, health data and privacy, access to care, and other constitutional questions affecting health systems and populations. A distinctive feature of the competition is its interdisciplinary amicus component. Interdisciplinary teams will prepare an amicus curiae brief examining the broader implications of the controversy for health outcomes, health equity, clinical practice, health systems, or affected communities. This component encourages future lawyers and health professionals to learn from one another while considering how constitutional doctrine operates beyond the courtroom.
