Legal-Minded Volunteers Needed YMCA Mock Trial Competition | Feb. 14 & 15

Support the NC YMCA Youth & Government Mock Trial Competition. The Competition will be hosted during the NC YMCA Youth & Government Conference, February 14 & 15, 2020, in downtown Raleigh. 

To present a strong event, we are recruiting legal-minded volunteers (attorneys, judges, paralegals, law students) to evaluate teams on their presentations, knowledge of the case, and ability to think on their feet. We hope you will join us as we help ensure our future leaders have the tools and knowledge needed to lead our democratic institutions toward a bright future.
