Attorney Coaches Needed for Alameda County Mock Trial Competition
This is a good opportunity for community outreach as a high school mock trial team attorney-coach or competition scorers. This competition is run by the Alameda County Office of Education and is part of a nation wide competition. The county winner goes to the California state championships.
I believe last year, 38 of the 58 counties sent their champions. The California winner goes to the national championships in which almost every state is represented.
Attorney coach needs: a minimum of one coach for each district (Fremont and San Lorenzo).
