Mock Trial Judges Needed
The 2012 Mock Trial competitions are almost upon us and volunteer judges are still needed to evaluate and provide feedback to competing teams. The southern Nevada competition takes place on January 14 at the Regional Justice Center. Volunteers can sign up to judge either the morning or afternoon session (just under four hours each) or may sign up for both.
This is an easy way to become involved and to support the valuable Mock Trial program without making a long-term commitment. To ask questions or to volunteer contact Kathleen Dickinson at kathleend@nvbar.org.
