Judges Needed for 2014 Mock Trial Season

Southern Nevada Regional Mock Trial Competition: Saturday, February 8, 2014, at the Regional Justice Center in Las Vegas.

 

Northern Nevada Regional Mock Trial Competition: Saturday, February 21, 2014, at the Bruce Thompson Federal Courthouse in Reno.

 

State Mock Trial Competition: Friday, March 7 - 8, 2014, at the Regional Justice Center in Las Vegas.
