The Texas Young Lawyers Association and the American College of Trial Lawyers are proud to host the 34th Annual National Trial Competition, which will be held in the great city of San Antonio, Texas. The competition is the preeminent mock trial competition in the country.The competition takes place tomorrow and Friday at the Bexar County Courthouse and Bexar County Justice Center. While there are enough attorneys to serve as judges, organizers still need volunteers (lawyers or nonlawyers) to act as witnesses during the various mock trial rounds. I served as a witness in a mock trial competition in law school, and it is a lot of fun, especially if you enjoy acting. If you're interested in helping out, follow the instructions above.
We need additional WITNESSES especially for tomorrow, Thursday, March 25, 2009. (Witnesses need not be licensed attorneys.) The witnesses in the competition are assigned a particular role as either a plaintiff or defense witness for the trial.
If you are interested in serving as a WITNESS in one or more of the championship rounds, please click on the following links. (Note the earlier starting time for witness preparation):
