UW students have competed in the National Environmental Law Moot Court Competition sponsored by the Pace University School of Law since 1990. The competition requires students to argue an environmental case from three viewpoints: the government/regulator, the regulated industry, and the citizen public interest group. The national competition is sponsored annually by the Pace Law School's Environmental Moot Court Board in collaboration with the Environmental Law Institute in Washington, D.C., and Texaco Inc. In the past, law students have argued on environmental topics ranging from illegal dumping to personal liability for violation by a corporation. Winning briefs will be published in the Pace Environmental Law Review.

The competition highlights emerging trends in energy law as well as recent developments in sustainable energy production. Both Wyoming teams advanced to the Elite Eight at the National Championship in March 2013. Our local competition is sponsored by the Wyoming law firm of Davis & Cannon.
