We report results of a search for CIII] $\lambda \lambda$1907,1909 {\AA}emission using Keck's MOSFIRE spectrograph in a sample of 7 $z_{phot}\sim7-8$candidates ($H\sim27$) lensed by the Hubble Frontier Field cluster Abell 2744.Earlier work has suggested the promise of using the CIII] doublet for redshiftconfirmation of galaxies in the reionization era given $Ly\alpha$($\lambda$1216 {\AA}) is likely attenuated by the neutral intergalactic medium.The primary challenge of this approach is the feasibility of locating CIII]emission without advanced knowledge of the spectroscopic redshift. With anintegration time of 5 hours in the H-band, we reach a $5\sigma$ median fluxlimit (in between the skylines) of $1.5\times10^{-18}$ ergs cm$^{-2}$sec$^{-1}$ but no convincing CIII] emission was found. We also incorporatepreliminary measurements from two other CLASH/HFF clusters in which, similarly,no line was detected, but these were observed to lesser depth. Using the knowndistribution of OH emission and the photometric redshift likelihooddistribution of each lensed candidate, we present statistical upper limits onthe mean total CIII] rest-frame equivalent width for our $z\simeq7-8$ sample.For a signal/noise ratio of 5, we estimate the typical CIII] doublet rest-frameequivalent width is, with 95\% confidence, $<26\pm5$ {\AA}. Although consistentwith the strength of earlier detections in brighter objects at $z\simeq6-7$,our study illustrates the necessity of studying more luminous orstrongly-lensed examples prior to the launch of the James Webb Space Telescope.
