Every year the Academy co-sponsors the Empire Mock Trial Association's Empire City Invitational. Please see the below comments from the Association about earning CLE Credit by volunteering as a Mock Trial judge.
Earn 3 FREE CLE credits while educating students about the law!
The nonprofit Empire Mock Trial, in conjunction with New York University, is pleased to invite you to attend our ninth annual college mock trial program: The Downtown. The event is scheduled for January 24-26 at the U.S. District Court in Brooklyn. Volunteers are asked to judge one trial in exchange for 3 CLE credits in the category of skills.
Each year the Downtown brings together sixteen of the top collegiate trial advocacy teams. This year's field includes Harvard, Princeton, Columbia, NYU, Virginia, and the defending national champion, UCLA. You can help teach talented, motivated college students about the law by volunteering just a few hours of your time.
I've included general information about the event below, and you can register to judge HERE.
- Features four preliminary rounds of competition, and you can judge as many or as few as you like-no litigation experience is required
- Please free to invite a friend or colleague to co-judge with you at the tournament. We'll pair you together!
- We'll serve complimentary food and beverages as a token of our appreciation
- Registering takes less than a minute -- just visit our site
We'd be happy to answer any questions you may have. Feel free to call (917-426-EMTA) or e-mail us ( admin@empiremocktrial.org)
We look forward to seeing you in a few weeks.
