NOT A MOCK TRIAL PARTICIPANT, BUT WANT TO GET INVOLVED?

You can! There are two ways for non-competitors/coaches to participate in the Quaker Classic: judging and sponsorship. 

Our tournament could not exist without the help of real world judges, attorneys, law school professors and law school students. Every matchup is presided and scored by two or three volunteer judges/jurors. This means we'll be looking for approximately forty to fifty individuals to serve as judges/jurors for each of the four rounds of competition! Please do not hesitate to ask questions or communicate interest by e-mailing Judging Coordinator Nishanth Bhargava at pennmocktrial.judging@gmail.com.
