The
Board of Advocates, or the "BOA," is the premier student organization
at the University of Tulsa College of Law. The BOA plays a vital role
at the College of Law by promoting opportunities for the professional
development of oral and written advocacy skills. The BOA is responsible
for organizing and providing competitions by skill types and
subject matter.The BOA also
sponsors a number of upper-class
competitions from which students are chosen to represent the College
of Law in regional and national competitions. These students will compete
with other law schools throughout the country. The BOA works closely
with practicing attorneys, faculty, and TU alumni
who judge the competitions and
coach the regional and national teams. Membership
in the BOA is offered to every TU law student who is in good standing
with the College of law.
Our
mission is to develop the communication skills of the lawyer in a broad
range of settings including client
counseling, negotiation, mediation, trial, and appellate advocacy. Subjects
include contract law, criminal law, energy and environmental law, health
law, Native American law, and tort law.
