PSC Model Illinois Government
MODEL ILLINOIS GOVERNMENT
Model Illinois Government is a structured legislative simulation. Undergraduate students
may participate by role-playing various legislative positions. These positions include:
legislators, executive officers, lobbyists, journalists, budget analysts, and all
party leadership positions. Students role-playing legislators are assigned a political party and
districts and are placed in legislative committees. Delegation awards and individual
awards are given based on performance during the simulation.
MOOT Court Competition
Held concurrently with Model Illinois Government, a Moot Court competition also takes
place. Teams of attorneys argue before a panel of student justices and legal professionals
and are scored based on presentation and knowledge of the case fact. Individual and
team awards are presented at the end of the simulation, and students may also campaign
for Executive Board positions (Governor, Attorney General, Secretary of State, Comptroller,
etc.) to take a more active role in the organization of the simulation.
