Volunteer to Judge the Student Trial Advocacy Competition
Support Future Trial Lawyers
Each year, 1000+ trial lawyers, current judges, and other attorneys volunteer to serve as judges and jurors during AAJ's Student Trial Advocacy Competition (STAC).
Each year, AAJ hosts the Student Trial Advocacy Competition (STAC), showcasing top future trial lawyers. This tournament is one of the premier trial advocacy competitions in the country. Regional Tournaments are held across the country, and the two winning teams from each region then compete in the National Finals.
The Regional Tournaments were held March 5-8 with both in-person and virtual regions, and the National Finals were held March 26-29 in New Orleans. You can review the 2026 competition results here.
If you are interested in volunteering to judge the 2027 competition, please email STAC@justice.org.
