Volunteer Judges and Jurors Needed – 6th Annual Carolina Classic Mock Trial Tournament Hosted by Elon Undergraduate Mock Trial
Elon Mock Trial wishes to invite local legal professionals to participate as judges and jurors in the Carolina Classic Invitational Tournament at Elon University. As a member of the American Mock Trial Association, Elon Mock Trial holds our own national tournament at Elon each October.
This year's tournament is on October 12, 13, and 14 at the Koury Business Center on Elon's main campus.
Judges and jurors rate the performance of teams on opening statements, closing arguments, and direct and cross-examinations. The case problem for this year is a civil case (negligence trial) involving a scuba diving trip that went terribly wrong. It is exceptionally important that these students, coming from as far away as George Washington and as near as UNC and Duke get the experience of trying cases before attorneys. The rules of evidence are a simplified derivative of the federal rules.
Because the trials are supposed to be “jury trials”, you do not need experience in Mock Trial to serve as a judge. Volunteers are encouraged sign up for as many rounds as they are available. Please consider joining us if your time allows. For more information and our online registration form, please visit our Judge website at:
http://org.elon.edu/mocktrial/Elon_Mock_Trial/Judges.html.
Please contact Elon Mock Trial’s coaches - William Warihay and Michael Koeltzow - at mocktrial@elon.edu to sign-up or with any questions.
