Mock Trial Judges Needed 2/01/2025
Please consider volunteering as a presiding or scoring judge for the February 1, 2025, Mock Trial Competition at the Waukesha County Courthouse. The following is a request from coordinator Karyn Youso with more details:
Dear All,
Happy Holidays! I hope this email finds everyone safe and healthy as we close out 2024. The 2024-2025 Mock Trial Competition is once again gearing up with Region 6 Regionals to take place at the Waukesha County Courthouse on Saturday February 1st, 2025. I am coordinating this year’s event with the gracious assistance of Michelle Fitzgerald and Nicole Ostrowski. Many of you have volunteered your time in the past and know how much the students value your time and feedback – we’d love to have you back and maybe even get some new participants!
The easiest way to sign up is with this link, but you can also email us directly:
https://www.wisbar.org/mock_trial/Pages/Volunteers.aspx
We need presiding and scoring judges for both morning and afternoon sessions (30 total judges; likely 12 presiding (6 for am/6 for pm) and 24 scoring (12 for am/12 for pm)). When using the link please select Region 6 and then your availability, and if you prefer to be a presiding or scoring judge when you sign up.
This year’s case is a criminal homicide case. The materials are attached, but here is also the link to the case materials and handbook: https://www.wisbar.org/mock_trial/Pages/Default.aspx
Pages 56 – 68 of the handbook have the relevant information and score sheets for judges.
This only works with your help! As always we are VERY appreciative of your involvement. As someone who has not only helped coordinate this event, but also participated as a team coach as well as the parent of mock trial students, I can tell you firsthand how much the students benefit from this program and your involvement. Please check your calendars and sign up early!
With gratitude,
Karyn, Michelle and Nicole
