Attention Judges, Attorneys, and Law Students   

Volunteers Needed!

Teach Democracy will host the 2025 Mock Trial State Finals at the Stanley Mosk Courthouse on March 14-16!

Over 500 high school students will represent their county in court portraying the roles of attorneys, witnesses, clerks, and bailiffs. These young people put in a lot of effort to prepare for the competition, and it is a great experience to be part of it. 

We are looking for over 300 legal volunteers to score the trials in March. Each scoring panel includes a presiding judge who presides over a trial and 3 to 4 attorneys who score the students’ performances.

You can help make this competition a success by volunteering and sharing this opportunity with your colleagues! This is an excellent opportunity to earn two MCLE credits.

Join us in this rewarding opportunity to make a meaningful impact by volunteering for any or all of the rounds below. Trials will take place at the Stanley Mosk Courthouse in downtown Los Angeles. Meals will be provided.

• • Friday, March 14 - 5:00 pm to 7:30 pm 

  • Saturday, March 15 - 8:30 am to 11:00 am 

  • Saturday, March 15 - 1:00 pm to 3:30 pm
