Join us for the 2025 ACT Golden Gavel comedy speaking competition!
Each year, new lawyers test their public speaking skills and comedic genius at Golden Gavel competitions across the country. The winners of each competition then face off at the National Golden Gavel. The competition is an opportunity for young lawyers to showcase their advocacy and comedy skills, with each given five minutes to argue their case on a far-fetched topic — revealed only 24 hours beforehand.
A panel of eminent judges will choose the winner, based on the speech’s humour, cleverness, and originality, and the performer’s presence and delivery, while the assembled gathering will decide the People’s Choice Award.
The nominations are in, the competitors are locked, and the stage is set for one of the most entertaining nights in the ACT legal calendar!
Come along and cheer for our three brave new lawyers as they battle it out in the ACT Golden Gavel comedy speaking competition. Each will deliver a five-minute speech on a wildly unexpected topic — revealed just 24 hours before showtime. Expect wit, wisdom, and a whole lot of laughter as they showcase their advocacy skills with a comedic twist.
