I agree to act as an adult role model for my students and to discourage willful violations of the rules. I will instruct my students as to proper procedure and decorum and will assist them in understanding and abiding by the competition rules and procedures as well as adhering to the spirit of this Code of Conduct. By action and by deed, I will teach my students the importance of treating others with respect and courtesy. In my interaction with other teacher-coaches, attorney-coaches, mock trial judges, county mock trial coordinators, other volunteers and mock trial personnel, I will set an example that my students can follow.

I understand that I have the following responsibilities for which I, alone, am accountable:
• Training students to fulfill the role of jurors and bringing a sufficient number of student jurors to each round of competition.

See R.2:5-3 and Online Rule 1.11 (the latter rule is in the event of virtual competition).

I agree to act as a role model by carrying out my responsibilities as a teacher, never forgetting that I am representing the educational system in addition to coaching high school students as their mock trial advisor. Thus, I will zealously encourage fair play and promote conduct and behavior that is in keeping both with proper courtroom decorum and the spirit of the Mock Trial Competition.

I agree to accept both defeat and success with dignity and restraint. I promise to avoid all tactics that I know are wrong or in violation of the rules. I make a commitment to comply with the rules of the competition in spirit and in practice. I will not plagiarize or accept plagiarized material. I will not use telecommunications technology to circumvent the rules or to gain unfair advantage.
