Thanks to all of the Mock Trial volunteers for being an integral part of the team that provided a fun, learning experience for students from all over the world!

We have received numerous complements on the good-natured volunteers who were always willing to help.

Over 125 Courthouse and Event Volunteers assisted with registration, pin exchange, courtroom oversight, M.V. Twin Capes Dinner Cruise, Awards Banquet, the Dance, and all phases of the 2008 National Mock Trial Championship.
