[blindlaw] question about the ABA and mock trials

[Jorge Paez]

Thank you, that's a great idea, I didn't know I could do that.
I'm in Florida.
How would I find out whether I'm allowed to sit in on a certain trial?
Also, would this be limited? E.G. you can only sit in on chriminal but
not civil trials, etc.?
