High School Mock Trial Judges Needed
Nevada's high school mock trial teams are looking for volunteers to serve as scoring and presiding judges during their upcoming Mock Trial State Competition. To volunteer, contact Kathleen Dickinson via e-mail at [email protected] or by phone at (702) 317-1408.
The competition will take place at the Regional Justice Center on Friday, March 7 and Saturday, February 8. Volunteers may sign up for just the afternoon sessions, morning session or both. The orientation on Friday begins at 2:30 p.m. with Round 1 beginning at 3 p.m. and Round 2 beginning at 5 p.m. On Saturday, the rounds begin at 8:30 a.m., 10:30 a.m. and 2 p.m. Breakfast and lunch will be provided for judges on both days.
Scoring judges rate the performance of student attorneys and witnesses on both sides of the case; presiding judges play the role that real judges hold in actual trials.
