   LexisNexis Anderson Publishing Moot Court Competition: This competition is held annually in October. Members of the second year class at UC Law compete in this competition for membership on the UC Moot Court Board. The competitors write a persuasive appellate brief and prepare oral arguments. On two nights in October, the competitors deliver their oral arguments before three separate panels of judges. The top seventeen competitors are then invited to join the UC Moot Court Board.

   August A. Rendigs, Jr. National Products Liability Competition: This competition is sponsored by the Cincinnati law firm of Rendigs, Fry, Kiely & Dennis, and is the only national moot court competition devoted exclusively to products liability law. The competition honors the memory of August A. Rendigs, Jr., who was one of Cincinnati's most respected trial lawyers. Over twenty teams come from law schools all over the United States to compete in this prestigious event. The competitors write a persuasive appellate brief and then participate in oral arguments held at the University of Cincinnati every April. There are preliminary rounds, semifinal rounds, and final rounds of oral arguments.
