Be a Mock Trial volunteer!
Each year dozens of judges and attorneys are needed to judge mock trials as part of the Wisconsin Mock Trial Program for high school students.
Mock Trial also utilizes a number of volunteers to pick up score sheets, assist with general organizing and directing, and tabulate scores on the days of the competitions.
Volunteers are needed on February 9 and March 10, 2013, at various locations (to be announced) around the state. The competitions begin at 8:00 a.m. and conclude at approximately 5:00 p.m. It is suggested that judges volunteer for either the morning or afternoon competitions.
Competition rules and case materials will be provided ahead of time.
Mock Trial judge training is available online and will also be provided the day of the competition.
