Seven area Classical Conversations Challenge B homeschool classes (13-15 year old students) are holding a Mock Trial competition at the Wendell Courthouse and Colonial Baptist Church on April 29, 30, and May 2, 2013.

We would love to have adults and high school or college students with law, Mock Trial, or debate/speech backgrounds and experience participate in the competition as jurors. Judges for our competition should be currently serving as judges or be practicing lawyers. Specific details about the competitions are below.

If you are interested in serving or finding out more, please contact Rebecca Carter at rebecca@3carters.com. Thank you!

Mock Trial Competition – Volunteer Jurors and Judges Needed!

What: Each mock trial session will have at least 3 jurors to hear the cases. Jurors will not be asked to render a verdict but will be asked to evaluate the performances of the students participating. Jurors will receive training and will have evaluation sheets to complete. Jurors will rate participants on a 1-5 scale and will also add comments to the evaluation sheet.

Judges will also not be required to render a verdict but may do so if they wish. Judges will evaluate the teams, assessing points and writing comments on the evaluation sheet.

Monday, April 29, Colonial Baptist Church, Cary, NC
