The Langfan Family Constitutional Oratorical Competition has recognized student excellence in public speaking and rhetoric since its establishment in 2001. Langfan is not a traditional moot court competition where judges interrupt competitors during their argument. Instead, it is an oratorical competition in which competitors deliver a short uninterrupted speech analyzing a controversial constitutional issue.
The 2013 Langfan topic is:
"Should a misdemeanor domestic violence conviction be able to bar a person's Second Amendment right to possess firearms for self-defense?"
This year, the school will award $750 to the 1st Place winner, $500 to the 2nd Place winner and $250 to the 3rd Place winner.
