2022 [Virtual] Thurgood Marshall Moot Court Competition

March 14, 2022 @ 2:00 pm - March 18, 2022 @ 5:00 pm

 

 

The Younger Lawyers Division of the Federal Bar Association is pleased to announce the
Annual Thurgood Marshall Memorial Moot Court Competition will be held virtually March 14-18, 2022 


While the decision to make the national competition wholly virtual was a difficult one, the YLD has determined it was ultimately the safest option for the health and wellbeing of the students, coaches, staff, competition volunteers, and the communities around them. The online format is also consistent with the learning plans of many law schools across the country.

Although the competition looks different in a virtual setting, key aspects will remain intact and continue to make it one of the premier moot court competitions in the country. Teams will be given a problem they will use to prepare and submit written briefs and argue orally against other teams in front of a panel of judges. The competition’s judges will continue to be actual state or federal court judges, practitioners, or scholars—many of whom had to pivot to virtual hearings, conferences, and general practices in their careers. This reinforces the “real world” experience for competitors. As is tradition, the competition will conclude with an awards ceremony, where family, FBA members, and leaders are invited to attend. Finally, as an added bonus, each participant in the competition receives a free one-year law student membership in the Federal Bar Association.
