Subject: Volunteers for law school client counseling competition

Hello,

I'm a current student at the law school and we are looking for graduate students in counseling, psychology or other similar areas of study to volunteer to be judges for a client counseling competition at the law school on Saturday, February 17th, 2024. Can you distribute this message to any current graduate students that might be interested? The link to sign up is highlighted below. If any of them have questions, they can email me at emayans at uoregon.edu<mailto:emayans at uoregon.edu>. Thank you!

Hello,



I hope this email finds you well. The UO School of Law is hosting this year's ABA Regional Client Counseling Competition on February 17. We are in need of a total of 30 volunteers, including bar members and community members to serve as judges. Three volunteers will be assigned to each competition room. Each team of three volunteer judges will be made up of two attorneys/judges and one non-attorney mediator or support professional (e.g., psychologist, counselor, social worker, student affairs professional, mediator). We would be greatly appreciative if you could volunteer as a competition judge during either of these times:



  *   February 2/17, 8:00 am to 12:15 pm (Preliminary Rounds - 27 volunteers needed)
  *   February 2/17, 12:30 pm - 5:00 pm afternoon (Semi-Finals - 9 volunteers needed)



Teams of two students from around the region will compete twice on Saturday morning, and the top six teams from Saturday morning will compete in the semi-finals on Saturday afternoon. The top three teams from Saturday afternoon will compete in the final round on Sunday morning. Judges will score students' soft skills: their ability to listen to and engage with their client, elicit information from the client, and work together as a team.



We have created an online form where prospective judges may indicate their name, contact information, and availability. Here is the form<https://forms.gle/xczM3sqCaGxHmKK39> where you can sign up to volunteer. We are only asking judges to commit to a single time block, and we are grateful for your time!



Please let me know if you have any questions. We could not run successful competitions without volunteers like you!



Thank you,
