Hon. E. Earle Zehmer Memorial Mock Trial Competition

Registration is now open for attorneys interested in serving as scoring jurors for the 30th Annual Honorable E. Earle Zehmer Memorial Mock Trial Competition.

For three decades, this competition has helped develop Florida’s future advocates by providing high school students with a realistic courtroom experience. Your participation as a scoring juror plays a vital role in mentoring students and helping them refine the advocacy, critical thinking, and professionalism that define our justice system.

The opening round begins at 3:30 p.m. ET on Friday, November 6.

Whether you can volunteer for a single round or the entire weekend, we encourage you to lend your time and experience to support the next generation of trial lawyers.
