The Ames Moot Court Competition is the annual upper level moot court competition at Harvard Law School. It is designed and administered by the HLS Board of Student Advisers and has been in existence since 1911,[1] when it was founded by a bequest in honour of the erstwhile dean of the School who had died the year before, James Barr Ames.[2] Cases take place in a hypothetical United States state named Ames.[3]
