National Flash Trial Competition - Call For Judges

This year, the third annual National Flash Trial Competition will be taking place from September 6 – 8 at JAMS in San Francisco. Run in association with the Berkeley Law Trial Advocacy Team, NFTC is a unique mock trial competition where top law school trial advocacy programs from around the country come to compete against each other and showcase their advocacy skills. NFTC is unique from any other mock trial competition; each round, teams are presented with a completely new case and have just one hour to come up with a case strategy, prepare arguments and witness examinations, and master the evidence for their case.

 

NFTC is currently looking for lawyers around the Bay Area who are able to come judge rounds. It’s because of volunteer judges that NFTC is able to happen. If you are able to come judge rounds at NFTC this year, please sign up to judge. Your feedback and experience would be valuable to the competitors! There is a particular need for judges in Rounds 1 and 3 below.

 

Below is a list of the times for each of the rounds this year. The official link to sign up to judge can be found here, and more information about NFTC generally, including the ten schools that will be competing at this year’s competition, can be found at NFTC’s website, at https://www.flashtrials.com/nftc-2024.

 

If you have any questions, please email CBrown@Venable.com. We hope to see you at NFTC this September!
