Before anyone enters the courtroom, the designated person must survey the courtroom to make sure it is left exactly as it started. The designated adult must submit the completed observer form to the presider at the end of the trial.

Timesheet - The clerk (& unofficial timekeeper) must bring a copy of this form to each round. The clerk (& unofficial timekeeper) must submit their completed timesheet to the presider at the end of the trial. 

Team Rosters - Each team must complete a prosecution and a defense team roster. The team must bring at least six copies of the completed prosecution or defense (depending on their side assignment) team roster for each round to distribute. During team check-in, the teacher-coach must submit one copy of the team roster to the Teach Democracy staff. Then, the clerk or bailiff will distribute a copy of the team roster to the presider, each of the scoring attorneys, and the opposing team before the start of the trial.
