Expose Excellence Youth Program
Moot Court Tournament
Expose Excellence Youth Program in collaboration with the Fort Bend District Attorney’s Office is hosting the inaugural youth moot court tournament open to all Fort Bend High School students Fall 2023. The goal is to engage and encourage youth to pursue a career in law by providing an experience with professionals in this career field.
There will be 24 teams from each high school in Fort Bend County participating in the tournament. Each team will be comprised of students from the same school. Each school is allowed to register ONE team of FIVE participants (four students and one alternate) that will represent them at the tournament. The Fort Bend District Attorney’s Office will provide attorneys to each team to serve as mentors and coaches of the moot court competition.
Teams are expected to familiarize themselves with the case materials and come prepared at every session with their assigned attorneys. Teams, teachers, and attorneys should collectively decide and schedule which dates they can meet. Scheduled meetings may take place on campus or virtually.
