2024 Thurgood Marshall Memorial Moot Court Competition

The Younger Lawyers Division of the Federal Bar Association is pleased to announce the 2024 Thurgood Marshall Memorial Moot Court Competition. This year’s competition will be held in-person on March 20-21, 2024.

The 2024 Thurgood Marshall Memorial Moot Court Competition is scheduled for March 20-21, 2024, in Washington D.C.  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. Finally, as an added bonus, the FBA is now offering Law Student Membership to new applicants for free! This Membership includes up to three years of associate membership while the student is enrolled in law school and the first year of their professional membership after graduation. Students can also add relevant sections for free directly on the FBA web site. Learn more and join here:  https://www.fedbar.org/lawstudents
