Fall 2026
Important Dates: The Thacher Intramural Competition took place on September 26-27, 2026, and the final round was held on October 2, 2026.
About the Competition: The Thacher Intramural Competition is an annual competition in which 2L Scalia Law students compete in a criminal trial problem in teams of two as either the defense or prosecution while being judged by local practitioners and judges. The Thacher Competition provides Scalia Law students the opportunity to grow as advocates, become courtroom-ready attorneys, and make connections with local attorneys and judges. Thacher is also a great opportunity for students who want to compete on an extramural team to show off their skills!
Judges: If you are a local practitioner, law school professor, or judge who would like to judge one or more rounds of the Thacher competition, we hope to get you involved in 2027! For now, you can sign up to judge the Costello competition!
Witnesses: If you are a 1L, 3L, undergraduate student, or someone interested in mock trial, the Trial Advocacy Association invites you to witness for Thacher next year! In the meantime, we would love you to witness for the Costello competition!
