A resident of Armonk, NY, attorney David Bordoni has represented Fortune 500 clients in New York City Supreme Court and in federal courts. Before beginning his career as a prosecutor in 1995, David Bordoni of NY earned his JD from Boston University.
Boston University's moot court competitions, an integral part of its JD program, provide law students with practical experience in presenting compelling cases, cross-examining witnesses, and introducing evidence. The school offers four different moot court programs and competitions. Students can also test their skills against aspiring lawyers from other schools in national and international competitions.
The J. Newton Esdaile Appellate Moot Court Program is a required component of the Lawyering Skills Class in which students are asked to research a specific issue and draft a brief that will be presented in an oral argument before a panel of judges comprised of faculty members, students, and lawyers.
Second-year students can choose to take part in the two-person Edward C. Stone Moot Court Competition. Students with the highest overall oral argument and brief scores move on to the Homer Albers Prize Moot Court Competition, where they argue before Boston University Law professors and judges.
Finally, third-year students who participated in Stone Moot Court are eligible to join Boston University Law moot court teams in competition against other schools. Topics for these competitions include constitutional law, international law, intellectual property, and criminal procedure.
