All of the individuals who serve as judges in the competition are actual judges, practitioners, or scholars. This reinforces the \u201creal world\u201d 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\u2019s Leadership Summit. The 2026 Thurgood Marshall Memorial Moot Court Competition was held in-person on March 25-26 in Washington D.C.
