Get involved

Join us

Youth Mock Trial ry is built by volunteers. Sit on a panel as a lawyer or law student, join the organizing team behind our events, or help with the practical work on the day. Schools, venues and law firms can partner with us, and donations keep the events free.

Ways to help

Good to know

Who can volunteer or organize

  • This form is for becoming a volunteer or organizer — not for signing up as an event participant
  • Participants sign up separately through the sign-up form on each event page
  • Legal professionals (lawyers, law students) usually give either a portion of an event or the whole event — it's up to you
  • Every mock trial needs a case, and the case is written by legal professionals — we always need help with that
  • Organizers are usually high school and university students; no law background required
  • Event-day helpers take care of logistics, hosting, photography and social media
  • Everything runs in English, and all roles are unpaid volunteer work

How much time it takes

Event-day helpers commit to a single event. Organizers meet regularly during the season, with the workload depending on the role you take on — we agree it together.

Volunteer application

For volunteers, organizers and partners. Event participants sign up on the event pages instead.

Applications are reviewed by the board. We never share your details.
