Substitute Team - Optional
-
Does your team have enough students to field two teams (present defense and prosecution in the same round)? If your answer is yes, volunteer your team to be a substitute team.
-
We are looking for a few substitute teams for the 2024 Los Angeles County Mock Trial Competition. In case we have an odd number of teams at any given round, we ask one of the substitute teams, to compete in a trial. The substitute team's scores will not count during that trial and will be considered practice only. There is no additional fee to participate as a substitute team. We cannot guarantee that any team will have the opportunity to provide a substitute team.
- If your team is interested in serving as a substitute team (in the event of an odd number of teams at any given trial), please email Lourdes Morales at lourdes@teachdemocracy.org.
