The Harlan Institute and Ashbrook announce the Tenth Annual Virtual Supreme Court Competition. This competition offers teams of two high school students the opportunity to research cutting-edge constitutional law, write persuasive appellate briefs, argue against other students through video chats, and try to persuade a panel of esteemed attorneys during oral argument that their side is correct. This year the competition focuses on New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen.
Using historical materials related to the Second Amendment, and the precedents of the United States Supreme Court, teams of two high-school students will write an appellate brief, and present oral arguments, addressing this question: Does the Second Amendment allow the government to prohibit a law-abiding person from carrying handguns outside the home for self-defense? Petitioners will argue that the Second Amendment prohibits states from denying a law-abiding person a license to carry a handgun outside the home. Respondents will argue that the Second Amendment does not prohibit states from denying a law-abiding person a license to carry a handgun outside the home.
