The William S. Boyd School of Law is scheduled to begin construction on the Thomas & Mack Moot Court Complex by early April. Dean Richard Morgan expects the facility — which will support the school’s appellate advocacy programs and provide a venue for judicial proceedings by state and federal courts — to be finished in time for fall classes.
The 6,000-square-foot facility, to be built just east of the law school, was made possible by a $3 million gift from Joyce Mack and the Parry Thomas family.
“The Thomas and Mack families have enjoyed a close association with UNLV since its inception, and we are especially pleased with the growth and success of the Boyd School of Law,” says family member Tom Thomas. “Its legal clinics are recognized nationally and provide critical services to members of our community. The next step in the maturation of this law school is the construction of a very special facility: a moot court room where students can learn and practice the skills necessary to effectively operate within our legal system.”
