Student Trial Advocacy Competition
The organization hosts the Student Trial Advocacy Competition (AAJ STAC), one of the largest annual mock trial competitions for law students in the United States. Roughly 200 teams compete at 14 regional sites. One team from each region advances to the national championships. The winning team and their coach receive free airfare, hotel accommodations, and registration to the AAJ Annual Convention where they are recognized during the Membership Awards Reception and Law Student Mentor Reception. This is an exceptional opportunity for law students to develop and practice their trial advocacy skills before distinguished members of the bar and bench.
