Michigan Mock Trial Volunteer Sign Up 2023

Thank you in advance for contributing to the development of young legal minds. This form serves to sign up as a volunteer for MCCE's regional and state final events.

At this time, MCCE will host one dedicated virtual regional event along with in-person regionals. Our hope is the dedicated virtual event will permit more access to more schools across the state and/or those who may have difficulty traveling to an in person event. 

Please note that these intentions may need to switch based on courthouse and courtroom availability. MCCE provides these opportunities at the discretion of the courthouses. 

Stay tuned for reception and celebration information as well!

Thank you for your continued commitment to your civic communities. We look forward to seeing you this season!

I agree to the adult and volunteer code of conduct. By registering, I acknowledge full compliance with the Adult Code of Conduct for myself, coaches, and adults I bring into the event space. A full copy of the the MCCE Code can be reviewed here: https://bit.ly/MCCEVolunteerCode. By registering I also agree to work with my students to represent a school (if relevant), my profession, and MCCE with personal, professional, and academic integrity.
I understand I will need to attend an orientation prior to volunteering to ensure I understand what is expected for the virtual hearings. (This isn't different from year's past - just that there will be more options to attend an orientation in advance of the hearing day.)
I acknowledge the Michigan Center for Civic Education (MCCE), the State Bar of Michigan (SBM), the National High School Mock Trial Championship, and the schools involved may use the likeness, images, video, and names of students and adults affiliated with my participation. I understand the above may be used for press releases, MCCE social media, school communications, video promotions, sponsor recognition and reporting, and other related communications. Should a student, school, or volunteer choose to withdraw from this agreement, the school or participant has an affirmative obligation to submit written notification to MCCE staff who will sign the document if in person or send a communication in writing (email) prior to the beginning of an event.
I understand the content of my ballot will be shared with students, coaches, and community members and will write them with positive, wise, and constructive feedback.
