Yeah, that's a bold claim. But we'll double down. Why?

First, the coaches live and breathe the year with you. We don't just offer some basic feedback on your case and ask you questions. Anyone can do that. We research the caselaw with you. We tell you which cases are worth reading and worth skipping so you save yourself dozens of fruitless hours of reading. We even put ourselves in your shoes and write cases ourselves so we know what arguments might work and what won't. We show up to tournaments to watch our students and judge rounds so we can keep up with the "meta."

Second, we have an unprecedented amount of experience. Last year alone, the coaches cumulatively spent over seven hundred hours on Moot Court. Yes, you read that right. Coach Hannah coached 149 hours. Coach Ethan coached 451 hours. Both coaches spent time outside each person's session reading the caselaw, for about 40 hours each. Both coaches showed up to every tournament and the two spent about 70 combined hours across the five tournaments. And the results showed for themselves: nine of the top ten oral advocates at the National Championship were privately coached by Blackstone.

Third, we do everything we can to keep prices reasonable. We don't want coaching to be "only for the wealthy." The cost of full-year coaching is just $12.50 per partner per week, just a little more than a fast food combo meal. And, if you want cheaper options, there's also full-year coaching for 1/2 hour for just $9 a week, and online club for just $5 a week. We want anyone who wants coaching to be able to do coaching. We had 12 teams sign up for full-year last year, and 27 teams sign up for some sort of coaching throughout the year.

‍Signing up for coaching is simple. You start by filling out the coaching form by clicking the button above. It'll ask you your coach preferences and the best way to contact you. Once you've paid (details on that below), we'll get you in contact with a coach and you'll set up a date and time for the coaching session. The FAQs page contains more details. If you still have any lingering questions, however, we'd be happy to take them over email, at blackstonemootcourt@gmail.com.

Full year coaching terms:

Full-year coaching begins the week of September 8th and runs weekly until the end of the Fourth Qualifier (April 20-21). Accounting for winter break, that plan includes 30 weekly sessions. Students who qualify for Nationals may request additional coaching after that point.

Coaches meet with students once per week and review caselaw, edit cases, and offer practice and drills. Coaches are also "on call" for students and provide assistance during tournaments, and answer any questions via text or email throughout the week.

Students who miss a scheduled session without 12 hour notice may make that session up at the coach's discretion. Coaches are generally quite flexible.
