    Volunteers Needed to Judge UW National Mock Trial Program in February

    The University of Wisconsin Mock Trial Program is hosting the Texas Young Trial Lawyers (TYLA) Regional Mock Trial Competition on Feb. 19-21, 2016. Attorney volunteers are needed as judges for the program.

    Dec. 2, 2015 – Twenty-four teams from throughout the Midwest will be in Madison to compete for the opportunity to represent their law school in the National Trial Competition.

    The U.W. is looking for attorneys and judges interested in judging this competition.

    The National Trial Competition is considered to be one of the premier law school trial competitions in the country, and is sponsored by the American College of Trial Lawyers and the Texas Young Lawyers Association.

    The competition will take place at the Dane County Courthouse, with each trial lasting approximately three hours. Volunteers will be given all of the information and training needed to judge the competition.

    Volunteers can receive up to four hours of CLE credit for judging the competition. This also is a wonderful opportunity to work with law students eager for feedback from practicing attorneys and judges.

    The trials will take place on the following dates and times:

    • Friday, Feb. 19 – 6 to 9 p.m.
    • Saturday, Feb. 20 – 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. and 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.
    • Sunday, Feb. 21 – 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. and 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.

    If you interested in judging, email Kim Peterson (kmpeterson@wisc.edu) or contact her at (608) 262-6097.
