JUDGING PANEL VOLUNTEER FORM
PA Statewide Mock Trial Competition
Experience Pre-Requisite
The Mock Trial Executive Committee prefers that all scoring judges (jurors) 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 or advising a high school mock trial team. However, it is not required to serve and all jurors will be provided with a short YouTube video to review prior to final rounds.
If you do not have prior experience with High School mock trials, and would like to volunteer, please contact Maria Engles, [email protected].
