Judges Information

Tournament Overview

We extend an invitation to serve as a Judge at this year’s American Moot Court Association (AMCA) Golden Gate Regional. The competition will take place November 15-16 at San Francisco State University’s campus.

The AMCA is the largest intercollegiate Moot Court organization in the United States, with approximately 500 undergraduate teams competing in sixteen qualifying tournaments to obtain a bid to the Championship Tournament. San Francisco State University is honored to host one of the sixteen AMCA regional tournaments this year, in which universities from across the country will compete.

Please note that if you sign up for Day 1 (11/16), we will need you to judge for all three preliminary rounds. If you sign up for Day 2 (11/16), you can select which rounds you are available for.
