2015 Judging Panel Volunteer Form

JUDGING PANEL VOLUNTEER FORM
PA Statewide Mock Trial Competition
March 27-28, 2015

Experience Pre-Requisite
To participate in the High School Mock Trial Championship, all judging panel volunteers must have at least one (1) year of previous experience serving on a judging panel in a high school mock trial tournament or at least 1 season of previous experience coaching a high school mock trial team. (Coaches with a team active in the championship may not serve on a judging panel.) The required "experience" may be gained by serving on a judging panel during rounds at the Pennsylvania district and regional competition (Jan-March 2015).

We ask for volunteers with high school mock trial experience, so that our students have the most prepared judging panels that we can provide when they present their case in a competition round.

Instructions
Please provide all of the information requested on the following page. All panels will be assigned according to individual responses as much as possible. The Judging Panel Coordinator will make the final decisions regarding placement.

On-Site Competition Orientation
All participating presiding judges, jurors and bailiff are required to attend the on-site orientation in the Dauphin County Jury Assembly Room before their scheduled round(s). All judging panel members who volunteer in more than one round must attend the orientation session before each scheduled round. This is necessary for check-in, courtroom assignments, and to address issues that may arise from prior rounds.

Hotel Accommodations
PBA will to provide overnight accommodations if your participation is required for both days and you are traveling from outside the area.
