The Educating Advocacy Teachers (EATS) Conference has been hosted by Stetson Law for almost two decades and is well-known in the Advocacy community as being a truly dynamic and collaborative experience. The unique conference invites educators from around the country to share their experiences, while facilitating the exploration of new teaching techniques and technology in this specialized area. The 2026 conference will be comprised of various panels, workshops, and breakout sessions that promote small-group discussion and interaction based on trending topics identified by the trial advocacy community.

EATS is also a celebration of achievement in advocacy teaching. At the 2026 Conference, we will celebrate the recipients of the Annual Advocacy Writing Competition Award, Edward D. Ohlbaum "The Eddie" Award, and Lifetime Achievement Award (not offered each year).

EATS is an interactive conference and we are planning EATS 2026 as an in-person experience; however, we want to facilitate those who need to attend remotely. All sessions will be recorded, and some sessions will be live-streamed for online participants to watch in real time.

The Agenda for EATS 2026 will not be released until next Spring. For an example of an agenda, please see the agenda for EATS 2025 below in addition to our 2025 Speakers and Presenters!
