About Us - National Trial Competition
The College co-sponsors the National Trial Competition held each year
in Texas. The Texas Young Lawyers Association presents the
competition, which attracts teams from more than 140 law schools and
involves more than 1,000 law students each year.
The Kraft W. Eidman Award is presented by the American College of
Trial Lawyers, and consists of $10,000 to the winning school and a
plaque to each member of the winning team. This very generous
contribution is endowed by Fulbright & Jaworski. The firm of
Beck, Redden & Secrest presents a $5,000 award to the second place
team. Each semifinalist team is awarded $1,500 by the firm of
Polsinelli Shughart P.C. The Best Oral Advocate is awarded the
George A. Spiegelberg Award, donated by Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver
& Jacobson.
