Kentucky High School Mock Trial

Judges

Volunteer to Judge!

We need Judges!

 Every year we depend on volunteers in the legal field to judge our student competitors and their time is greatly appreciated! From college mock trial competitors and law school students to sitting judges, we welcome anyone who wishes to judge our future lawyers!

If you are interested in being a judge for our State Tournament, REGISTER HERE.
After you register, you will receive an email confirmation and additional information in the weeks and days leading up to the competition.

Note: Judging mock trial equates to two CLE credit hours.

 
Volunteering as Mock Trial Judge is an incredible experience. If you’re in the legal profession, it’s a chance to share your experience with some of the sharpest young minds in the Commonwealth...
