YMCA Seeks Volunteer Judges for Mock Trial Competition

More than 80 attorneys and 30 judges are needed to judge the courtroom skills of high school students as they compete in the 2000 YMCA Mock Trial Competition. This volunteer opportunity will be held in Olympia at the Thurston County Courthouse March 25 – 26, 2000.

Designed as an educational tool, the competition gives students the chance to argue the plaintiff and defense sides of a fictional, but near-real civil case in five rounds over two days. Attorneys are needed as audience raters to evaluate each school’s performance, while judges are needed to preside over the mock trials.

For more information or to volunteer, contact Allison Roberts at 360-534-0155 or e-mail to djrasr@aol.com.
