Boston University will be hosting one of the American Mock Trial Associations
regional tournaments at the Suffolk County Courthouse in the heart of downtown
Boston on February 4th, 5th, and 6th, 2011. Twenty-four talented teams from
colleges and universities in the New England area will be competing for a spot
at the championship level of competition.
An organization completely built on volunteers requires volunteer judges at
our tournaments. The judge's responsibilities are quite easy: simply attend
a three-hour trial session and score the performance of the plaintiff and
defense teams for the round.
The tournament need roughly around one hundred and twenty volunteers for our
tournament to be successful. This experience will allow you to share your
expertise with talented future lawyers from around the region. It's a great
opportunity to make connections with other legal professionals who will be
serving as judges as well.
Below is the judges' schedule. If you should decide to attend as a
judge, you are welcome and even encouraged to participate in as many round as
you would like. Additionally, if you know anyone else who might be interested in
participating as a judge, you are encouraged to invite him or her as well.

year's AMTA trial, contact buregionalmocktrial@gmail.com
