Our team of Akron Law Trial Team Advocates are heading to the regional National Trial Competition in just a few short weeks! In preparation for the competition, they will be holding practice scrimmage rounds on Saturday and Sunday this weekend, Feb. 1 and 2. They will be running two trials each day, one starting at 9 am and the second starting around noon. They are in need of several witnesses to help out this weekend!!
The National Trial Competition is unique in that our advocates need to train with unprepared and untrained witnesses. The witness will be emailed a copy of the problem to review prior to coming in for trial. Nothing needs to be memorized or drafted in preparation. Your assigned advocate will meet with you 15 minutes prior to the start of the trial, to go over your testimony with you and inform you as to how they would like you to respond to issues that may come up on cross-examination.
This is a great opportunity to see how our Trial Team program works, get to know the coaches and advocates, and see how a mock trial is run.
You may also receive pro bono hours for volunteering. Please email Rachel Smick at rls173@zips.uakron.edu if you are interested.
