Information for Judges
We are seeking local attorneys and judges to volunteer to judge at the 2018 Emerald City Open. As a judge, you will evaluate the competitors over the course of a trial and provide both written and verbal feedback on their performances. The experience is fun and rewarding, and it's a great chance to help the next generation of lawyers be the best they can be! Refreshments will be provided before each round.

Venue and Directions
The 2018 Emerald City Open will be held at William H. Gates Hall, located near the north campus entrance.
The campus can be easily accessed from Interstate 5, just take Exit 169 for NE 45th Street. Parking will be available at multiple lots near the law school, however, please note that the N1 parking lot immediately adjacent to the building is closed for construction and will not be available this year.
Additionally, the recently-opened University of Washington Light Rail station provides great connectivity between the campus, downtown Seattle, and even the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SeaTac). Note that it is a 10-15 minute walk between Gates Hall and the light rail station, which is located at the southern end of the UW campus near the stadiums. We highly recommend using the light rail to connect to the airport for all teams planning to fly to ECO. More information on the light rail system, including schedules and pricing can be found on the Sound Transit Website.
Uber and Lyft are used throughout the Seattle area and are recommended for any team that will not have their own vehicles.
