The nonprofit Empire Mock Trial is pleased to invite you to participate as a judge in its "World Championship" mock trial program on October 25-27 at the federal court in Brooklyn. Over 600 talented students from across the globe are traveling to the Big Apple and they need you to serve as their mock judges and jurors but real life educators! By volunteering just a few hours of your time, you can make a meaningful impact in these young people's lives while earning CLE credit in the process. It's a win-win for everyone!
