The Educating Advocacy Teachers (EATS) Conference, hosted by Stetson University College of Law, is a dynamic and collaborative event dedicated to advancing the teaching of advocacy skills. Scheduled for June 8-10, 2026, this conference brings together educators from across the country to share experiences and explore innovative teaching techniques and technologies in the field of trial advocacy.
The 2026 conference will feature a variety of panels, workshops, and breakout sessions designed to promote small-group discussions and interactions. These sessions will focus on trending topics identified by the trial advocacy community, providing attendees with insights into the latest developments and best practices in advocacy education.
In addition to educational sessions, EATS 2026 will celebrate achievements in advocacy teaching by honoring recipients of the Annual Advocacy Writing Competition Award, the Edward D. Ohlbaum "The Eddie" Award, the Lifetime Achievement Award, and the Cornerstone Award.
