The Thurgood Marshall Memorial Moot Court Competition is hosted by the Younger Lawyers Division of the Federal Bar Association (FBA).<\/p>\n

Each year, the FBA distributes case materials to the teams based on a current and developing federal issue. The materials include a mock district court order and circuit court opinion. The teams then use those materials to prepare and submit written appellate briefs and argue against other teams from around the nation.<\/p>\n

Each team member argues and fields questions from a panel of judges for 10-15 minutes.<\/p>\n

Students can expect to walk away from the competition with a sophisticated writing sample and the ability to feel comfortable arguing as a petitioner or respondent on future appeals.\u201d<\/p>\n
