The Ames Competition, held in the historic Ames Courtroom of Harvard Law School, is one of the most prestigious competitions for appellate brief writing and advocacy in the country. The students participating in the Final Round started the competition in fall of their 2L year. Two teams progressed to the Final Round through their strong research abilities and excellent written and oral advocacy.

Harvard Law didn't look this scary in Legally Blonde.
LMAO
FRRR 😭
Ik 😭😭
it really never😩🤣
Like, it's hard?
Chief judge didn't even blink. Must be used to seeing students dead tired and passing out
@@naiewgnaw 👀🤷♂️
Very normal in law school. Hahaha
lol
naiewgnaw nope
My thoughts exactly 🤣🤣
No “uh” or “um” throughout their entire argument; they actually maintain perfect speech as they quickly formulate rebuttals, wow!
I'm impressed. I definitely to practice that with my speeches.
I heard a lot of uhs
18:50 don’t mean to be that guy. Still outstanding to be able to deliver arguments that way, really impressive.
@@Kredroth But, after fainting, lol. Prior, I could tell she wasn't feeling well when her voice began to crack dryly, her breathing escalated, and when she looked down a few times for water. However, she still had minimal filler words -- impressive.
Lies again? AMCC AMWF
The judges look so proud, the future of law is in good hands with these young adults.
I don’t remember this in Legally Blonde...

I'm not even a law student and watching this case just got my anxiety really high up. I congratulate everyone who participated in this Court Competition, you all did an amazing job from pov : )

I understand every spoken word individually but my brain isn’t synthesizing them into intelligible messages 😭
Dw, sometimes I followed what they were saying but most of the time I was lost
@Bela Rios no need to be rude
Why? They just used complex words to describe laws and classification systems that aren't complex. That's the theatrics of law. This is not nuclear physics nor stochastic calculus.
@노근대위 누구...?
@Bela Rios 바보
The way Garland asks questions is so supportive. He always leads the students into the 'right' direction through his line of questioning and i think its awesome. He understands its a stressful experience, and knows that these students can arrive at some interesting conclusions if directed the right way.
He strikes me as just a really high caliber guy. I'm glad we have him as our AG in these tough times.
She did a great job. I was worried when she fell down, but she stood up quickly and continued. I was so impressed by her. She is amazing.
"Would you mind repeating the question your honor" has to be the most boss move I have ever seen. Girl full on knocks out gets up and just says that. Damn anyways hope shes doing well in her law practice now

That was because she needed time to think. I would use the same technique if I needed more time to answer a question
I completely lost all confidence in my English skills after watching the first 5 minutes of this video.
LOL
I feel you 😅
You can do it
I'm not kidding me too
it's stuff they've memorised and rehearsed
The speed at which they make progress is outstanding. I've never been able to have a debate in which my points where faithfully represented and turned upside down for me to defend at every turn. Simply amazing.
They're coherent, unwavering from their arguments and are straight forward...
How fabulous is that!!!
The deserve to be in Harvard
I'm a law student as well. Moot courts are just the most exhausting and intense activity a student could possibly experience. It gets 10 times harder if you're not an English native speaker. Limited vocab would really hinder the delivery of your legal argument.
Were you good at it?
are you a filipino
I'm still in high school (probably sophomore in USA) in the Netherlands, but I can follow this discussion pretty well, even though I didn't know what the details of the discussion were about beforehand

Which makes it similar to real life, where communication skills often determine whether or not your argument is accepted or rejected by your audience.

I am currently Studying child protection law via Harvard X and I found this presentation EXTREMELY helpful in furthering my knowledge in this area of law.
Edit: I take this back. Harvard has fallen after their disgusting defense of Hamas.
I swear, kids that go to Harvard are not human. How do you faint mid-argument and proceed like nothing happened? What a trooper.
I was thinking the same thing, but literally 😂
When did this happen?
M.A.A 14:50
Harvard used to enroll mature young adults who could handle the rigors of law school without emotionally losing it and passing out when presenting a mock oral argument. Not so much today.
bach baroque Fainting has nothing to do with emotions. It’s an evolutionary response to perceived threat - fight, flight or freeze - and it can affect anyone no matter how tough or emotionally in-check. But can you imagine the pressure they’re under in this scenario? Have some empathy.

No sammmmeeeee because how do they expect me to speak...publicly....WITHOUT FAINTING. LIKE.....my argument is correct please just take my word for it 😭😭😭😭
That lady is going to be a Supreme Court Justice. A terrific and fearless advocate. Eloquent, informed, courteous and simply brilliant. Well done.
My biggest regret is not being as book smart as these people. Always sucked at exams, but loved accademia, well done to those who can do it.
The elite vibes in this video is overwhelming. I feel like a peasant😂😂

Lovely Gocela same boat.. im a med student and the only mind stimulating was the fainting part of the girl. Hahahaha
I'm preparing for the law entrance exam and this moot court competition has increased my passion for law even more.
Sameeee
I’m not a lawyer or anything but this girl is very stiff, and it doesn’t even look like she believes what she’s saying. My advice would be learn some speaking skills and body language to actually sell what you are saying. That why salesman are so good. They present themselves as an expert and sell it well. Watch someone who you love listening to and copy their body language and the way they speak. The dude I love is a channel called Polymathy. He’s not a salesman or a lawyer but the way he speaks is so damn good.
Are you doing law after 12th or after graduation?
who else watching this doesn't understand what's happening but is enjoying it anyway?
I think that girl secured herself a job at any firm of her picking. To faint and get right back up and continue is pretty impressive. However, there is no weakness or shame in taking a break or stepping away if you're unwell.
I need glasses. LOL.
@@ShainAndrews read that again. They said "firm", not "film".
@@JustAnotherLokiStan You are correct.
@Burhan Abdulali not necessarily cuz there are Harvard grads who are unemployed, but that incident is gonna boost her up a LOT.
Time stamp for when she fainted ?
I just realized the middle judge is Merrick Garland, who was just a few senate votes shy from becoming a US supreme court Justice. No wonder the first girl fainted I'd be sh*tting myself too if I had to present an argument in front of him.
Same! But she got back up like a champ.
Good observation!
Amul Thapar too is a front runner for the U.S Supreme Court
Bit ironic for him to be chief judge of the Supreme Court in a moot court
A few votes shy?? There was no vote- up or down. You can thx Cocaine Moscow Mitch for that.
I feel like passing out watching this video, can't imagine standing infront of judges and keep adressing tricky questions comprehensively. Salute to the lady and to the judges.
I did this at an international level, in front of the European Court of Human Rights and its honorary judges. Only that it was much harder to do it in a foreign language (French). It made the victory even sweater when we won twice, against the French team and the Egyptian team, and scored overall in the top 25 of 150+ international teams.
Congratulations!
What's the competition called?
What year?
lmao sweater is a funny Freudian slip.
All that and you can’t spell a basic word
I feel like people fainting at these things are the norm
ya considering the way they just sat there lmao I was like "what you're not gonna get up?!"
So underrated
solo ist nerve-wracking*
...only girls.
You're correct.
the way she had a well structured paragraph for every single question asked, man harvard students are another breed
It’s not hard to do if you just practice. What is hard is going up and doing it in front of these judges 😳
that’s how moot court works bruh
There are other law schools way lower ranked that win these competitions over Ivy League schools like Harvard btw, South Texas College of Law for example
in which competitions? Aimes is only for Harvard students. @@TruthTALKA
@@TruthTALKAWell yeah, because they don’t take the scrimmages as seriously as the lower ranked schools.
I had never spent 1 hr 24 minutes & 38 seconds on a TH-cam video like this with my mouth gaping from start to finish. PHENOMENAL! They deserve Harvard
I love these and I love using them to fall asleep to. No offense it just goes way over my head! It really helps honestly thank you
I’m honestly not surprised that she fainted, the level of nerves and stress that comes with standing in front of learned judges is the scariest thing ever, on top of that with them asking her multiple questions. Big ups to her for having the strength to get back to the stand to conclude her submissions. Watching this just made me think about my first moot court experience 😩😭
I was soo lucky I had to do mine via zoom because of the corona🙈 but the nerves where this there😂
I literally asked my teacher to restart the recording because I got super nervous and fucked up the introduction of my first submission 😂😭. It got recorded into my moot, and all you can hear me say at the beginning is, "if it pleases the court, I will begin with my *pauses for 10 seconds*...sorry, can you restart the recording?"
So fucking embarrassing.

I'm a lawyer in Brazil, here most defends are made orally at the hearing, Brazilian judges, prosecutors and public defenders are not nominated but are chosen through testes with several stages, including an oral stage, only the most well prepared ones with years of studies goes by, some contests last longer than 1 year. ..sorry my English is a little bit rusty.
their eloquence is incomparable, these are smart people
Nahshon Arvin Well said!
True
Ahem Elon Musk... but this is a different type of intelligence. Certain people are good at math while others are better at communications and word recall and politics. Regardless, judging someone's smarts by their eloquence is not a really representative of their true intelligence I feel, especially with guys like Elon Musk walking around
Joe A. You’re right,some people just don’t get it
Nahshon Arvin Not exactly. I had a lot of batchmates who were eloquent but not actually bright. A lot of people are just comfortable with public speaking because of their undergrad or past exposures. That confidence does not necessarily translate to critical thinking or high level of intelligence. That’s why many of them got kicked out in our freshman or sophomore year.
Big props to this young lady and everyone supporting her. And that was amazing how she quickly rebounded.
This is just so impressive , inspirational . Thanks for uploading.

Yeap. Legal arguments are no game
Agree. They are too intimidating... They are now judges because of years of experience and these judges forgot that they are talking to students... not even a licensed lawyer yet but glad after the drama, these judges have shown empathies.
@@reydaffon8194 I don't mean to sound rude but I guess it's better they face something like this w being students than humiliate themselves as licensed lawyers
They’re only intimidating in court
thee videos really help me learn how to speak with clarity about how to put my thoughts into clear and concise phrases. Great for public speeches
She speaks so well and professional. Sometimes even without meeting a person you can tell how nice they truly are, and this woman seems so genuine.
She got right back up and back on point, I respect the commitment!
@Texan Distributist Here in Canada The reason why we don't do that is bc of Canada's "sixtys scoop" & residential school history of attempting to assimilate Indian children by taking away their native identity all together. native children should be placed with native ppl otherwise they can and will lose their identity which can and will cause a deep rooted sense of never belonging which is the gateway to Addiction and suicide. So I would disagree with you. in Canada We cannot adopt out native children to non native familes bc of the assimilation history in which the goal was to "Kill the Indian in the child". America was no different. If anything America is behind. That Child should have never been given to the caldwells to begin with. It speaks to the problem America has with not caring enough for its first nations people.
@@nicolesanderson8757 It's a hypothetical case, not a real one my man. Don't get too excited with your Canadian superiority complex.
@@nicolesanderson8757 I agree with you, Nicole. We also assume that there would be no push back from the native Americans in raising that child. Anything related to this law would be the responsibility of the Federal court to decide, not a state's. However, this hypothetical case sits in the hands of judges who have to apply the law of the land, not another country's. If that's desired to be done, the people would have to first change the law, and thereafter sustain their point in court for the desired outcome.
Great Wolf it’s a hypothetical case based on a very real issue.
Great Wolf “Canadian superiority complex” something an ignorant person would convey by taking things personally, as if it was a jab against their nation.
So glad this was recommended to me. This was amazing. Their vocabulary, public speaking skills, debate and memorization skills, and confidence, was amazing and inspiring.
I also felt the same way!
Dangerous Haircut yes!!! it was really cool and motivating to see.
this was way too advanced for me. It was hard to understand much of what they were talking about
It you were a law student, you would have understood it.
@@AntiMasonic93 I'm a quant and I understood all of it. The speech of today is in vernacular for most people. It's much less intellectually taxing and stimulating than the speech patterns of just a few decades ago.
I don't know if I am the only one who's scared for her to faint one more time. Nevertheless, points were greatly delivered. Salute to this lady. My motivation to pursue law was triggered. This was beyond great. Kudos!

The vocabulary and precise pronunciation combined with the eloquence and classiness forms a unique message for what’s to come from the future generations.
Why is a law student being scrutinized more than most politicians these days?
I think because some positions that are being ran for, you dont need a law degree to run for some offices. To be a lawyer, you must have a degree
@@celestialmoonlight262 and pass an exam that is bat shit crazy. I know colleagues and former classmates that say the BAR isn't that hard. Sure it's doable. But, it's very difficult and it contains nuances that you don't really learn in law school.
This is a voluntary activity, they volunteered to be scrutinized. And the rewards for all 4 are tremendous, they will get the best opportunities right out of law school because of already having argued before Federal judges.
So they can become good politicians . ( Most of them have law degrees)

I'm a law student and had moot before this. It was intense!
We haven't slept for days in finishing and compiling the files for mooting. Had to read many cases for hundreds of pages, printing it out, memorised it and understand it only for a few days, and had to run when submitting the files. Everything was like a marathon. And...it's not over yet! We had to present our files in front of the judges, getting asked for many times, getting scolded at. I never had the hardest time in my life except during that day.
Furthermore, I'm the type that has to read again and again since I'm not that smart to understand at once but yeah, that's how it was....
Same here. Mooted on Friday which was two days ago from today (Sunday). I basically am the same like you, I have to read and read again and again I am not that smart to understand at once, but basically I am a relentless mf when I have to be. Law is interesting because it deals a lot with cases and between you and me, I have to make sense of all of these things by writing it down re organizing it on pen and paper until I have all the things certain just for me to begin to proceed further. Most of the time I have had to negotiate with my "inner self" to come to an agreement to work together with me - me if that makes sense haha! Then there's the researching needed and the readings to complement it. But this is only just the beginning because after all this you gotta look at the issues and then start dissecting further if you missed anything ladidadiDA! Yeaj, it is how it sometimes but we are relentless mfs!
Same here lmao. I remember writing really often during the entirety of the cross examination and interpolation because I am the type to quickly forget details orally presented. It was fun tho. It was a really heated argument

The fact that natives are still called “Indians”, in front of an actual Indian judge in this case..
I actually was really confused and annoyed when I realized that too but apparently it’s because in the constitution they refer to natives as Indians so apparently therefore in court settings the term “Indians” is used?

@@Benni777 well, that debt will be repaid pretty quick once the Harvard grads get big law jobs in places like Skadden, Latham & Watkins, Brown Rudnick at starting salary of $215,000, which increases close to $300,000 by the fourth year and I am not even taking bonus into account. If smart with personal finance, the big law lawyers can pay off their loans in 6 - 8 years, assuming you take the entire Harvard tuition of $321,000 as loan. In real life, very few people take the entire amount as loan and the payback period could be shorter.

This makes me want to drop out and I'm not even studying law. They're troopers. Respect.
I said “being a lawyer might be cool” and TH-cam recommendations laughed in my face and said “you are not cut out, not even close”
You are cut out. These are Harvard students, so their level of reasoning in relation to the law is supreme. Unlike these individuals, most attorneys are minimumly competent.
These students are all vying to be on the supreme court. 99% of recent graduates from law school work in-house in some random company or as a clerk in small to mid size law firm.
Not all students are this eloquent. These are the top students among Harvard Law peers looking to argue their case in court (to be litigators). Speaking eloquently on the spot is their main weapon. One can also be a non-litigation lawyer which requires a different set of skills - basically to avoid situations where one or a company has to go to court to argue a case.
Lol.

This faint is not the result of stress only but the result of speaking withought regulating the correct way to breathe. As a student of Psychology I read a lot about that.. People are forgeting to breathe.... Remember to make stops while speaking.. The power of the words comes from breathing and the pause gives more power to change an opinion or try to persuate. Hope you all well
Oh OK thx
interesting
That or she locked out her knees during this time. When you stand for long periods of time, never lock your knees out. It constricts blood flow. You’ll often see examples of people passing out similarly while standing in a military formation.
In my case I tend to forget to breath when I recite in front of the class and answering phone calls :(
I struggle with that a lot, I don't know how to cope with it
This is the third time that I am watching this video! Although I am not a law student but I like the way they are explaining about this case. I like to be part of Harvard family one day, and I would join one day❤
