Want to feel the atmosphere of a real courtroom? Test your argumentation and public speaking skills?
The Local Oratory Competition is the first stage of the National Oratory Competition — an event held in several cities across Poland. The competition takes the form of a simulated judicial proceeding and is based on case studies in civil law, criminal law and labour law.
Participants take on the roles of the parties and prepare a closing speech before a first-instance court. Each presentation is 10 minutes to convince the Jury, followed by time for a rebuttal — exactly like in a real trial.
Performances are evaluated by a professional Jury composed of legal practitioners and academic representatives. Winners of the local stage will represent Kraków in the national final. Attractive prizes await participants.
Date: 31 March 2026.
Details and registration: coming soon. Take on the challenge and participate in the Local Oratory Competition.
