2023 Thurgood Marshall Moot Court Competition

The Younger Lawyers Division of the Federal Bar Association is pleased to announce the 2023 Thurgood Marshall Memorial Moot Court Competition. This year’s competition is planned to be held in-person on March 22-23, 2023. 

The 2023 Thurgood Marshall Memorial Moot Court Competition is scheduled to be held in-person on March 22-23, 2023, in the Washington D.C. area. Several aspects of the competition make it one of the premier moot court competitions in the country. All of the individuals who serve as judges in the competition are actual judges, practitioners, or scholars. This reinforces the “real world” experience for competitors. Competitors have an opportunity at the awards reception that immediately follows the final round of the competition to network with federal judges and practitioners, who travel from around the country to attend the Federal Bar Association’s Leadership Summit.
