The Pennsylvania Statewide High School Mock Trial Competition – presented by the ACBA and the Pa. Bar Association – is underway, and additional dates have been opened for volunteer participation for a weather makeup day, an elimination round to get to the final eight teams, a semi-final round for those eight teams, and finals that will determine the two teams which will represent Allegheny County at the state competition. ACBA members are asked to volunteer to be a scoring juror or a presiding judge for the competition. Volunteers do not need to be a litigation attorney to participate, and prior experience is not needed. Volunteers need to arrive at the City-County Building by 4:45 p.m. With enough volunteers on Feb. 26 and March 3, volunteers will only be needed to judge one trial (4:45 p.m. to 7 p.m.) rather than the typical back-to-back trials.
- Thursday, Feb. 19 – Weather makeup day
- Thursday, Feb. 26 – Elimination round
- Tuesday, March 3 – Semifinals
- Thursday, March 5 – Finals
