Attention Judges, Attorneys, and Law Students   

Volunteers Needed!

Teach Democracy will host the 2025 Los Angeles County Mock Trial Competition at the Stanley Mosk Courthouse in November!

Over 2,500 high school and middle school students will represent their schools 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 700 legal volunteers to score the trials in November. 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. Trials will take place at the Stanley Mosk Courthouse in downtown Los Angeles. Meals will be provided.

• • Prospective timeframe of November 3-18. Specific dates and registration link coming soon.
