Empire Mock Trial (Opportunity to Judge)

Empire Mock Trial is excited to invite attorneys to judge at Empire New York, scheduled for November 18-19. The program is run by Empire Mock Trial, an education nonprofit.  The organization is asking attorneys to serve as a judge or juror for one three (3) hour trial, which includes a complimentary meal and brief orientation session.  The remarkable high school students hail from 6 countries and 16 states, and attorneys receive 3 free CLE credits for volunteering.

More program information can be found on the website here—it takes less than 5 minutes for volunteers to register.

This is a win-win opportunity for everyone: the local community gets to empower the next generation of leaders, while students learn from their knowledge and expertise.

Time: 6:30 p.m. – 8:30 p.m.

Location: Chadbourne & Parke LLP, 1301 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 

This networking reception will provide students and lawyers, presently participating in the PALS Mentoring Program, an opportunity to meet.

We also encourage all New York City area law students of color and attorneys interested in future participation to come and learn about PALS and our Mentoring Program.

A New Open Enrollment Period Will Commence
on Friday, February 5th!

Mentoring relationships are rewarding to both parties and are essential in the professional world.  We encourage all attorneys to share their own experiences on the giving and receiving end of mentoring relationships.

Please spread the word about this reception to attorneys who may be interested in volunteering as a mentor to a law student of color.  We continue to have a tremendous demand from students interested in obtaining a mentor.
