Hamilton Opening Round Championship Series

The Opening Round Championship Series, or ORCS, is the second round of the American Mock Trial Association's annual national tournament structure. ORCS tournaments host the top teams from each of AMTA's Regional tournaments. Once they have qualified to ORCS, teams must place in the top six to qualify to AMTA's National Championship Tournament. The Hamilton ORCS Tournament is one of 8 ORCS tournaments, which are hosted by different universities across the country over the course of two weekends in March. The Hamilton ORCS is hosted by Miami University and will take place on March 14 and 15, 2026 at the Butler County Common Pleas Court. 

We are seeking practicing attorneys, law students, and AMTA alumni and judges to volunteer as judges for the tournament.

We welcome judges from all legal backgrounds to sign up. If you have any questions, please contact us at the email below!
