'Trial By Jury' law-related education event changes venue, Wisconsin Mock Trial Program seeks volunteers

After 16 years at the State Fair, this event will be held this year at Marquette University High School, 3401 West Wisconsin Avenue, Milwaukee, on September 29th from 6 to 8 p.m. It is presented jointly by our State Bar and the Wisconsin Academy of Trial Lawyers (WATL).

"We are currently seeking volunteers for the 2005 - 06 Wisconsin High School Mock Trial Program," says Runaas. [Dee Runaas, State Bar Law-related Education coordinator] "The Mock Trial Program is an excellent opportunity for legal professionals to be involved in community service and help young people develop problem-solving skills. The program continues to expand annually, and as a result there is always a need for more volunteers."
