On Feb. 7, lawyers are needed to help score the District 7 competition, which will take place at the Rutherford County Courthouse, S. Public Square, Murfreesboro 37130. Contact Alyssa Fox for more information and to volunteer. Volunteers also are needed Feb. 17-25 in Chattanooga to help score the state's largest district competition in District 5. Contact Mary Frances DeVoe to volunteer for that one. From Feb. 19-22, Shelby County needs lawyers and 2L and 3L law students for its District 14 competition at the Shelby County Courthouse, 140 Adams Avenue, Memphis 38103.
