The Law School’s
Frank. S. Polestino Trial Advocacy Institute is proud to
sponsor the annual:
Peter James Johnson '49 National Civil Rights Trial
Competition
The only national civil rights trial competition in the country,
the four-day Peter James Johnson Competition offers law students
from up to 16 law schools throughout the country an opportunity to
try a civil rights case in an actual courtroom setting before
prominent jurists and trial attorneys. The Competition was renamed
the Peter James Johnson ’49 National Civil Rights Trial Competition
in 2008 in honor of Peter James Johnson ’49, a St. John’s graduate
who dedicated his legal career to excellence in the practice of
law.
