VOLUNTEERS
We are currently looking for three types of competition volunteers on all three days: runners, witnesses and bailiffs. Volunteers make this important competition possible, and we want you! All competition volunteers are invited to join teams and coaches at the evening social events on Thursday and Friday. We hear these are a lot of fun. Law school students, faculty, staff and alumni are strongly encouraged to join us as volunteers. Please check back soon for more information on those gatherings to be held downtown.
Please use the form below to indicate your interest and availability. Volunteers may sign up for one or multiple time slots of the same type. You can be both a witness and a runner at different times, or a bailiff and a runner at different times. We recommend that you do not sign up to be both a witness and a bailiff over the course of the competition, though you may serve in each role more than once. We will reply back to you very soon. Thank you in advance for helping to make this year’s competition a success!
