Thurgood A. Marshall Memorial Moot Court Competition

      Each Spring, in conjunction with the FBA mid-year meeting in Washington D.C., teams from law schools around the country take part in the the Thurgood A. Marshall Memorial Moot Court Competition. Final rounds are held in the Court of Military Appeals. Immediately after the final rounds, an awards ceremony and reception are held in the foyer outside the court. All members in attendance at the mid-year meeting are encouraged to act as judges in the preliminary rounds of the competition and attend the reception.

    The law schools are notified in early January by letter and are invited to participate. The Competition Problem, Rules and Registration Forms are distributed to all interested schools in January. Deadline for registration is in late February and  briefs must be submitted in late February. Arguments are held on Thursday and Friday during the FBA mid-year meeting.
