FSU’s Claude Pepper Elder Law Clinic is proud to present the Elder Law Moot Court Competition! The event will draw teams from across the country to compete in Tallahassee, FL at the FSU College of Law November 7-9, 2024.

Schedule

The 2024 competition will be held live, in Tallahassee, on Friday, November 8 and Saturday, November 9, with an awards dinner and ceremony to follow. The rounds will be held in the Advocacy Center, which was previously home to Florida’s First District Court of Appeal. We will host a welcome reception for all competitors on Thursday, November 7. This welcome reception will be attended by lawyers and policy specialists who focus on aging and elder law issues, including a special guest speaker. The competition problem will be mailed to the teams in August 2024.

Topic

Our topic this year will address age discrimination in employment.

Registration

We invite schools to enter up to two teams in the competition. Teams may consist of three members, although only two will be allowed to argue (must be the same two students in all rounds). The cost of registration is $400 per team. If your school would like to compete in the 2024 competition, please email Rima Nathan. Official registration is expected to open in April, at which time we will provide the appropriate forms on this webpage.

We look forward to seeing you at the 2024 competition!
