Dear 1L & 2L Students,

Are you interested in advocacy or competition?  Looking for a leadership position to help you learn more about advocacy? Then the Old Kivett Advocacy Council (“OKAC”) is the perfect role for you!

Each year, OKAC is responsible for hosting three intramural advocacy competitions throughout the school year.  OKAC organizes the Richard A. Lord Moot Court Competition and the Richard T. Bowser Client Counseling Competition in the Fall and the Intramural Negotiations Competition in the Spring. The Council has an important role in hosting our intramural competitions so that the participants can be the best they can be to represent Campbell Law if they are selected to join the competitive advocacy program! Council members will also work closely with Campbell Law administration, staff, and attorneys practicing throughout the state. This is a great opportunity to network with employers and showcase how great Campbell’s internal advocacy program is.

The Old Kivett Advocacy Council is looking for rising 3Ls to assume the roles of the Executive Board.
