LAWS 8472
Advocacy Competitions · 1 instructor on record · 11 sections
That is the class itself, averaged across everyone who taught it. Who taught it, and how each of them scored, is the board below — that is what a student picking a section is actually choosing between.
Boston College's own “intellectually challenging” question for this class only — students answer it positively about courses that stretched them, so it measures intellectual challenge and NOT grading, workload or quality. Almost every BC class scores high on it, which is why it is shown as a rank rather than a score.
Boston College reports workload for this class only as one of five bands, not as a number of hours, and it does not publish what the bands mean — so this site will not translate it into hours. Higher means more work, which is not the same as worse.
This is the companion class to the national moot court teams. Enrollment and attendance in this class is mandatory for all members of a national team. The goal of the class is to help prepare students for not only for their individual competitions but also for litigation practice. The class is divided into three parts: overview of the moot court experience, appellate written advocacy and oral advocacy. The class will meet formally during the Fall semester until Oct 15. The class will reconvene in the first half of the Spring with their team coaches for oral advocacy/moot sessions until the competitions are complete. Students should expect an "incomplete" grade until they have completed their moot court experience (February/March).

The line
All 13 items · means across 11 recordsBar length is the rank against every comparable record we hold, not the raw score: BC's questions all have a median around 4.5, so a raw-scale bar would be nearly full on every row and would tell you nothing. Every bar is one ink colour — nothing here is graded green or red. The hatched bars are not ratings at all: a higher number on either describes a different course, not a better one.

How to read this boardInstructors are ranked on their record in this class only, never on their average across everything they teach. Scores are out of 100 — Boston College's 1–5 agreement scale, ×20, the way these numbers were printed for years. Workload is BC's own five-band figure, not a number of hours, and is shown as a rank. A dash means the question was not reported, and is never a zero.
