In fall 2004, The John Marshall Law School established the Trial Advocacy and Dispute Resolution Honors Board and Council.
At its inception, the law school set out a threefold mission for the new honors program: education, service and research. Through education, the law school hopes to advance John Marshall students' skills in advocacy, professionalism and ethics through the intra and interscholastic competitions, and periodic lectures and demonstrations. Service will be achieved by the council's support of interscholastic teams, and through facilitating and administering the intrascholastic competitions. And finally, the research component of the mission will be met by review of social and legal aspects of current issues affecting litigation and alternative dispute resolution, along with the occasional drafting and publishing of on-line commentary and reviews in these areas.
