Buffalo Criminal Law Center
The Buffalo Criminal Law Center and the Buffalo Criminal Law Society are pleased to announce the Tenth Annual Herbert Wechsler National Criminal Law Moot Court Competition, to be hosted by the State University of New York at Buffalo School of Law on Saturday, March 28, 2009.
Named after the drafter of the Model Penal Code, the Wechsler Competition is the only national moot court competition in the United States to focus on topics in substantive criminal law. (To learn more about Professor Wechsler's achievements, go here.) Problems address the constitutionality and interpretation of federal and state criminal statutes as well as general issues in the doctrine of federal and state criminal law. In particular, the Wechsler Competition explores topics related to the Buffalo Criminal Law Center’s various research and reform projects.
The Wechsler Competition complements the University at Buffalo’s comprehensive effort to advance the study and practice of criminal law, which also includes the Buffalo Criminal Law Review and the Master of Laws in Criminal Law, the only program of its kind in the United States.
