We are in need of volunteer judges for a collegiate mock trial tournament called 'Beach Party' hosted by UC Irvine, taking place in person at UC Irvine's campus on Jan. 7th & 8th. This elite event will feature some of the best teams from across the country, where each round is competitively matched.

Many of our competitors are women who are looking to go into law. It would be wonderful for them to see women in law as their judges!

You can sign up to judge by clicking HERE. Please sign up by Dec 30th so we know if you're joining us!

The rounds: The trials are approximately three hours long and will require no preparation. There will be two days of trial with each day consisting of a morning round (~9:00 – 12:00 PM) and an afternoon round (~2:00 – 5:00 PM). You can judge as many or as few as you like. If you have any attorney friends or colleagues who would also like to judge, please let us know so we can pair you together.

Requirements and orientation: The only requirement to judge is to have some prior experience with the federal rules of evidence (most often via a law school evidence course OR prior mock trial participation). Before each round, we will have a brief orientation session which will explain trial procedure, scoring, and your role as a judge.

The UC Legal - Office of the General Counsel is seeking highly qualified, well-rounded first and second year law students to participate in our volunteer law clerk program during the summer of 2023.    

We endeavor to expose our summer law clerks to the practice, as well as the substance, of law.  In terms of research projects, preference is given to narrowly focused, relatively brief assignments, submitted by attorneys who are willing to work closely with the law clerks and to include them, when appropriate and possible, in meetings, hearings, negotiations, etc. 

The law clerks will support the attorneys in responding to client inquiries, as well as in developing tools and resources to assist clients at the campuses and at the Office of the President.  Assistance will be provided across a broad spectrum of subject matters within the following practice groups: (1) business, transactions and innovation, (2) educational affairs, campus services, governance and compliance, (3) litigation, and (4) labor and employment.  Assigning attorneys are expected to give constructive and comprehensive feedback to the law clerks on their work product.  

If interested, please submit your coversheet, resume, transcript and writing sample in a single PDF file (e.g., Doe_John.PDF) to OGC-Resumes@spmail.ucop.edu.  

To ensure full consideration, candidates should apply by January 13, 2023.  The positions will remain open until filled.

2023 summer law clerks may qualify for a stipend from UC Legal.

UC Legal - Office of the General Counsel is located at 1111 Franklin Street, 8th Floor, Oakland, California 94607.  For more information on UC Legal please visit  https://www.ucop.edu/uc-legal/index.html.
