SECURITY: All participants must pass through metal detectors.

• To avoid long lines, plan to arrive at the courthouse early and not bring any unnecessary items. Items prohibited at the Stanley Mosk Courthouse.

• Courthouse security will not hold items that are not permitted in the courthouse. If you have a question as to whether or not something is allowed in the courthouse, please leave it in the car.

• Remember, the less you bring, the quicker you will pass through the metal detectors and the less time you will spend in line. Consider having one or two backpacks for the entire team to place the team's belongings in.

• Check-in will be located in the hallway on the second floor near Dept. 2 from 4:00 pm to 4:30 pm.

• A teacher, attorney coach, or school administrator from each team must check in before each round.

• Each team will submit one copy of their team roster and pick up MVP certificates and other material.
