This is a very rewarding volunteer opportunity starting in January! The MBA is seeking attorneys to be mock judges for the high school mock trial competition. You get to pick the date and location of where the various trials are being held. Trials are generally held at a local court from 1pm - 3pmish. Pick one or three - it's up to you. Watching these high schoolers bring out their best is an amazing experience for all involved. The program provides all of the information you need including the reduced rules of evidence and case law. Please consider joining this wonderful program.
