About Us - National Trial Competition
The College is among the sponsors of the National Trial Competition
held each year in Texas. The Young Lawyers of Texas present this
competition which attracts teams from more than 100 law schools and
involves more than 1,000 law students annually.
The American College of Trial Lawyers sponsors
a trip to the American College of Trial Lawyers Annual Meeting for the
Best Oral Advocate. If the Best Oral Advocate is not part of the winning
team, one member of the winning team will also be invited. At this
meeting, the Kraft W. Eidman Award, consisting of a $10,000 gift and a
silver bowl, is presented to the winning team. This very generous
contribution is endowed by Fulbright & Jaworski. The firm of Beck,
Redden & Secrest will present a $5,000 award to the second place
team. The Best Oral Advocate receives the George A. Spiegelberg Award,
donated each year by Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver &
Jacobson.
