YMCA Mock Trial is returning to Pierce County!

Efforts are underway to increase Mock Trial participation in Pierce County and you can be a part of these efforts.  Right now we have 2 high schools with teams but we hope to increase that next year.

Part of that effort is to bring the regional competition back to our local legal community and our Courthouse.  So please join us to make that a reality and a success.

This is your opportunity to help youth learn and practice law! 

Please volunteer for our Regional Mock Trial Tournament!

Washington State YMCA Youth & Government is hosting the Pierce County Regional Tournament on February 17th and 18th.

We need attorneys and judges to support youth by attending a trial, scoring each segment of the trial, and providing positive and constructive feedback to the participants. Volunteers are a pivotal component to our program and your time and expertise is irreplaceable. It takes over 475 volunteers to run our mock trial program annually.

Round 1: 5-8pm

Saturday (2/18)  Round Times Available:

Round 2: 9am-12pm
