This competition, open to attorneys in Miami-Dade County who have been practicing for 7 years or less, consists of several rounds of arguing both the plaintiff’s and the defendant’s positions. Facts and materials are released 72 hours before the competition begins. Competitors learn which side they will argue the morning of the competition, and argue both sides of the case during the competition. More than 30 attorneys under 40 years of age argued before a panel of private practitioners and sitting judges.
The event was held at the Florida International University College of Law. Proceeds from the competition serve to benefit Legal Services of Greater Miami.
