Suffolk Journal of Trial & Appellate Advocacy

The Honor Board has two responsibilities: managing and organizing four intra-scholastic competitions and publishing the Suffolk Journal of Trial & Appellate Advocacy.

The competitions are carefully designed in order to create the most realistic experience possible.  The Board relies upon members of the judiciary and prominent practitioners to serve as judges for every round of each competition.

The Suffolk Journal of Trial & Appellate Advocacy is published twice a year. It provides practical and in-depth analyses of current legal issues relating to trial and appellate practice. It is comprised of lead articles submitted by outside authors with expertise in their respective fields, and student-written Notes and Case Comments submitted by MCHB staff members. Journal members select a unique topic, research primary and secondary legal sources, analyze the legal issues facing the trial and appellate advocacy community, and write an original piece for publication.
