Mock Trial 2017 Accepting Volunteers

Posted by: Katharine Heriges on Dec 30, 2016

 

The committee, which plans and executes the Tennessee State High School Mock Trial Competition each year, is seeking volunteer judges, attorneys, paralegals, legal staff and law students to help with the 2017 competition as presiding judges, scorers and bailiffs.

 Volunteers are still needed for the Tennessee High School Mock Trial Competition! This year's competition will be held March 17-18 at the Davidson County Courthouse in Nashville.  Please sign up by March 2 to ensure your spot. 

There are three options for volunteering:

* Sitting judges in Tennessee may volunteer to preside over trial rounds
* Attorneys may volunteer to score teams
* Law students, paralegals and other legal staff may sign up to serve as bailiffs
 
Volunteers who live outside of Davidson County and volunteer for at least one round on Friday & one round on Saturday will have lodging accommodations provided by the TBA. Those who wish to volunteer can now sign up using this form on the TBA website. Be sure to indicate which role you are volunteering for. 
 
Those with questions about the case should contact Mock Trial Committee Chair Kristen Corn, and those with questions about volunteering should contact TBA Staff Coordinator Lauren Hopper Lee. For directions, forms and other volunteer information, please view the TBA Mock Trial website. We look forward to seeing you!
