The TBA Young Lawyers Division (YLD) is accepting registrations for its 2026 Artist in the Courtroom Contest. With the support of the TBA YLD Fellows, the 2026 Tennessee State High School Mock Trial Competition once again will include the Artist in the Courtroom Contest. The contest will take place first on the district level in February with the top three artists being recognized at the state competition in Nashville on March 20-21, 2026. The top artist will be eligible to participate in the national contest in Des Moines, Iowa, on May 7-9, 2026. The Artist in the Courtroom contest is designed to give more students the opportunity to learn about the courtroom and the legal process, while improving their artistic ability and introducing them to the courtroom artist profession.
