The Columbia University Mock Trial program is pleased to announce that it will be hosting its 9th annual Big Apple Invitational (CUBAIT IX) on October 22rd and 23th, 2011. If you are interested in judging, please fill out our registration form here. If you experience any problems with the form, please email columbiamocktrial@gmail.com for assistance.
The tournament will comprise four rounds, with two rounds each day. Twenty-two teams from some of the top universities in the country will be participating, and the winners will be determined by attorneys who preside and/or score the participants. The trials last about two hours. During the trial, the “judges” rule on objections and score the competitors according to their performance. The trials are governed by a slightly modified version of the Federal Rules of Evidence and conducted just as real trials are.
