fOr THe OHIO MOCK TrIAL!

Be a judge for the day and help inspire tomorrow’s young lawyers by volunteering for the ohio Mock Trial! The CMBA is
proud to host the first two stages of the ohio Mock Trial Competition in Cuyahoga County again this year: District trials will
be held on January 18, 2019, and Regional trials on February 15.

Your help is needed more than ever as the CMBA will be welcoming ALL local high school teams to our District Competition.
This exciting annual program is ohio’s largest academic competition, and Cuyahoga County high school participation is higher
than any other district in the state. With the help of volunteer judicial panelists and advisers from the legal community in
2018, over 500 students representing 16 high schools were given the opportunity to hone their communication and analytical
skills in a real-life courtroom setting.
If you are a judge or attorney, you can help by serving as competition judicial panelists at this done-in-a-day volunteer
opportunity, where you will have the chance to observe the region’s finest budding legal minds in an exciting afternoon
of competition.
