Eighteenth Annual National Pretrial Competition

Courts across the country use pretrial hearings to determine constitutional, evidentiary, and procedural matters before trial. The Eighteenth Annual National Pretrial Competition (NPTC) provides students with a forum to develop skills for properly researching, analyzing, and litigating important, case-dispositive, pretrial matters in an evidentiary hearing almost identical to a full trial.

NPTC 2025 will take place from October 2-5, 2025, in the new Advocacy Institute at Stetson University College of Law in Gulfport, FL. This year’s packet will be released on August 1st and includes a pretrial evidentiary hearing and motion argument. The memos of law are due by 11:59 pm on September 1st. Applications for NPTC 2025 will open in early June.
