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. The 2026 Thurgood Marshall Memorial Moot Court Competition was held in-person on March 25-26 in Washington D.C. For full details about the 2026 Thurgood Marshall Moot Court Competition please visit the 2026 Moot Court Webpage.
