The Emory Law School Supreme Court Advocacy Program (ELSSCAP) is the only student-run Supreme Court litigation program in the United States, producing persuasive petitions for certiorari and amicus briefs in a broad range of practice areas, including administrative law, bankruptcy law, constitutional law, criminal law, and tort law. Students work under the guidance of experienced litigators as they handle all aspects of ELSSCAP's work, giving them a unique opportunity to choose cases, write briefs, and engage in significant issues that merit being heard by the US Supreme Court.
Funds raised for ELSSCAP go towards supporting ELSSCAP programming for students, including our annual trip to the U.S. Supreme Court every year to listen to oral arguments, hosting of symposia, lecture series events, and other appellate litigation related events for students.
