The Monroe County Mock Trial Tournament celebrated it's 20th anniversary in 1979. The MCBA maintains a list of its members who are willing to speak to community, church and civic groups upon request on specific legal topics of interest. The Speaker's Bureau not only compiles the list of proposed speakers, but also coordinates their speaking engagements with the requesting organization. Understanding the legal system can often be difficult unless you are an attorney or an avid fan of The People s Court. The Jury Project is a joint effort of the Monroe County Bar Association and the Department of Criminal Justice at Rochester Institute of Technology.
