Empire Mock Trial, an education nonprofit, in partnership with New York University, seeks volunteer attorneys to judge at the Downtown Collegiate Program, scheduled for January 20-21. Empire Mock Trial is looking for attorneys to serve as a judge or juror for one three (3) hour trial, which includes a complimentary meal and brief orientation session.  Students hail from some of the nation’s top universities, including Harvard, Yale and Columbia; attorneys receive 3 free CLE credits for volunteering.
