Judges, Attorneys, and Law Students   

The Los Angeles County Mock Trial Competition is back in person at the Stanley Mosk Courthouse!

We need over 600 legal volunteers to score the trials in November. Each scoring panel includes a presiding judge to preside over a trial and 3-4 attorneys to score the students’ performances.

Over 2,500 high and middle school students will represent their school in court portraying the roles of attorneys, witnesses, clerks, and bailiffs. These young people work hard to prepare for the competition and you will enjoy your experience with them. 

Please volunteer and spread the word to your colleagues!

Trials start at 5:00 pm at the Stanley Mosk Courthouse in downtown Los Angeles and last about 2 ½ hours. Light refreshments will be provided. We need volunteers for the rounds below.

Thursday, November 2 - Senior Round 1
Monday, November 6 - Junior Round 1
Wednesday, November 8 - Senior Round 2
Monday, November 13 - Junior Round 2
Wednesday, November 15 - Senior Round 3
