The 2026 Competition will take place at the Greene County Judicial Courts Facility, 1010 Boonville, Springfield Missouri.  We will be sending two teams to the state competition this year!

 

Please tell your students that we are excited to host them and that our tournament is unique in that all the volunteers are lawyers and judges.  These professionals are giving generously of their time so that the students have the best possible experience. With that in mind, I have asked the judges to start rounds at 5:00, so the students need to be organized, prompt and respectful in setting up for their trials.

Registration will open at 4:15 on the third floor of the courthouse.  Your team must check in no later than 4:30. Each team is required to have a timekeeper and provide timecards.

We welcome spectators if space allows. Please remind participants and spectators:

  • No gum, food or beverages in courtrooms.
  • Silence all cell phones
  • Do not move furniture or disturb courtroom materials or equipment. This does not apply to exhibits or stands provided by the teams.
  • Clear the courtroom and the courthouse of all participants and materials as soon as you are dismissed by the judge.

Team codes and sponsor contact information are provided below. DO NOT USE YOUR SCHOOL/ TEAM NAME AT THE TOURNAMENT OR ON YOUR ROSTER. Please verify that the phone number below is your mobile phone, and if not, provide that to the tournament director.
