The YMCA Youth Judicial Program allows high school students (Grades 9-12) the opportunity to learn about law though preparation and presentation of a mock case.

Delegates are on self-selected teams of 6, with 3 youth lawyers and 3 youth witnesses. Teams are either on the defense side of the case or plaintiff (prosecution for criminal cases). If you have an even number of teams, half will be defense, half will be prosecution. If you have an odd number (and 1 is an odd number) please email Sam Adams at sam@alyig.org to see which side you will compete as.
