Ccard cf Advocates Their Goal — Excellence in Advocacy In 1987-88, University budget cuts threat ened the Board of Advocates (BOA) level of activity. As a result, BOA secured its future by establishing a one million dollar advocacy endowment with donations from law firms and individual attorneys. BOA was an honorary organization that encouraged oral advocacy anti brief writing through moot court, mock trial and dient counseling competitions. To gain BOA membership, a law student had to accumulate a required number of competition and administrative points. Competition points were earned by par- ticipation in the advocacy com|K-titions and administrative points were earned by being a witness or a baliff for the competitions. BOA held one moot court and two mock trial competitions in the fall and dient counseling, two moot court and two mock trial competitions in the spring. BOA also selected members for five interscholastic teams who represented the law school in national competitions in these areas. In April, BOA held its annual banquet to recognize the competition winners and to award Order of the Barristers to the top ten third-year students. Mux court participants Jim Reeder and Ruud!
