Applications are now being accepted for the Federal Bar Association\u2019s 2022 Thurgood
\nMarshall Memorial Moot Court Competition!
\nThe Younger Lawyers Division of the Federal Bar Association has announced it will hold the
\nThurgood Marshall Memorial Moot Court Competition in March 2022 via an online platform.<\/strong>
\nThe virtual format is consistent with the learning plans of many law schools across the country
\nand, although the competition may look different this year, the competition\u2019s key aspects will
\nremain intact and continue to be one of the premier moot court competitions in the country.
\nEach year, the FBA distributes case materials to the teams based on a current and developing
\nfederal issue. The materials include a mock district court order and circuit court opinion. The
\nteams then use those materials to prepare and submit written appellate briefs and argue against
\nother teams from around the nation. Each team member argues and fields questions from a panel
\nof judges for 10-15 minutes. The panel of judges often include state or federal judges,
\npractitioners, or scholars\u2014many of whom have also had to pivot to virtual hearings and
\nconferences in their careers. This novel remote format will provide competitors with a \u201creal
\nworld\u201d experience of federal appellate advocacy. As is tradition, the competition will conclude
\nwith an awards presentation, held virtually, where family, FBA members, and leaders are invited
\nto attend.
\nMitchell Hamline\u2019s teams have historically ranked very highly in this competition (winning
\nfirst place in 2019-2020).
\nMitchell Hamline will have one two-person team competing this year. The deadline for
\nsubmitting applications for one of the two positions is 5:00 P.M. Friday, December 10, 2021.<\/strong>
\nInterested applicants should submit a persuasive writing sample (preferably an appellate writing
\nsample) to Andrew Wilson (awilson@wilsoncd.com) and Robert Yount
\n(Robert.Yount@co.anoka.mn.us). Cover letter or letter of interest optional. Interested applicants
\nare encouraged to reach out to either Andrew or Rob with any additional questions or concerns.
\nDepending on the volume of applicants, students may be asked to conduct a brief (3-5 minute)
\noral argument on their writing sample.
\nStudents receive 2 academic credits for participation in the competition. Generally, a student can
\nregister for one credit in any semester in which they anticipate they will do at least 45 hours of
\ncompetition-related work. Some students split the credits, while others register for both credits in
\nthe semester in which the student does the bulk of the work. Students with questions or in need
\nof assistance with registration-related issues should reach out to Debbie Nelson,
\n(debra.nelson@mitchellhamline.edu) or Morgan Holcomb,
\n(morgan.holcomb@mitchellhamline.edu)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
