Calls for Moot Court Judges

1) The Federal Bar Association Younger Lawyers Division is seeking Judges for the 2021 Thurgood Marshall Memorial Moot Court competition to be held virtually March 9-12, 2021. If interested in learning more about the opportunity, please contact sections@fedbar.org.

2) The ABA Law Student division is hosting the National Appellate Advocacy Competition this year online via Zoom and is looking for judges. This year’s virtual format means that almost anyone, anywhere can participate, but the hope is to target folks that live within the time zones each “region” is aligned with. That said, anyone can volunteer for any region. More info:

The American Bar Association Law Student Division is looking for attorneys, judges, and counselors to volunteer as mock “Supreme Court” Justices for its annual National Appellate Advocacy Competition. This year’s topic is Civil Rights Law, focusing on the First Amendment rights of a public employee and the qualified-immunity doctrine. Due to COVID-19 precautions, the competition will be held completely virtually, meaning that volunteer judges from all over the United States can help mentor law students participating in this prestigious competition. Competitions will be held via Zoom on the weekends of February 18–20, February 25–27, and March 4–6. Competition rounds last approximately 4 hours. For more details, please go to the NAAC Judges web page or direct questions to competitions@americanbar.org.
