The Florida Bar High School Appellate Brief Writing & Moot Court Competition is a two-part program that offers a unique opportunity to learn about the appellate process. Students write briefs and are invited to present oral argument before appellate judges in each of the six District Courts of Appeal based on a fictitious case drafted by members of The Florida Bar Law Related Education Committee. The teams that make it to the semifinal round will argue before the First District Court of Appeal and the statewide final round is held at the Florida Supreme Court.
Homeschool teams are welcome to register for the competition. Along with your registration, please submit a copy of your Notice of Intent to Homeschool. In addition, you need to provide a receipt of submission and approval from your school district’s superintendent. This receipt can be any method of mailing that produces a date stamp or correspondence from the superintendent indicating receipt and approval of the notice. Please email PDF copies of these documents to Ruby Munguia.
