Dear University of Akron School of Law students and faculty,
On November 14-15, Carnegie Mellon University will be holding the “Swear Me in, Scotty!” mock trial invitational. The CMU Mock Trial program is currently looking for volunteer judges, and since the tournament is virtual this year, you can judge rounds without having to leave your house!
Mock trial is a competitive speech and debate activity where two teams each represent one side of a mock court case. Schools prepare witnesses and attorneys for direct and cross examinations. Volunteer judges preside over the round to rule on objections and score competitors based on their public speaking skills. Volunteer judges are critical for competitors to improve their case before the American Mock Trial Association’s official tournaments in the spring.
At “Swear Me in, Scotty!”, there will be two rounds each day–one in the morning and one in the afternoon–and training will be given to each judge before the invitational. No prior mock trial experience is necessary in order to judge.
If you are interested in judging for CMU’s invitational tournament, register to judge at this Google form. If you have any questions, please contact the Tournament Director, Cayden Codel, at cmumocktrial@gmail.com.
