The Lawyers Association of Kansas City Young Lawyers Section is hosting the Missouri State High School Mock Trial Competition March 30, 31 and April 1. The event is co-sponsored by the KCMBA Young Lawyers' Section and the Missouri Bar Association Young Lawyers Section.
We are looking for attorneys to serve as judges for the competition, which will take place downtown at the Jackson County Courthouse (415 E. 12th Street Kansas City, MO). This is a great opportunity to see how enthusiastic these high school students are about the law, and can reenergize and remind us why we love what we do!
We can use your help for as few or as many rounds as you are available. If you can volunteer please contact Carly Duvall at cduvall@lathropgage.com or 816-460-5615.
