As the parent/legal guardian of the minor named above, I give the minor permission to participate in the
2024 California Mock Trial Finals Competition/Courtroom Artist Contest/Courtroom Journalist Contest on March 22-24, 2024 in Los Angeles, California. I have reviewed the
rules of the competition and the
state finals behavior notice with the minor and we both agree to follow the rules of the competition and understand we must abide by the code of ethics.
In consideration for their participation in the 2024 California Mock Trial Finals Competition, I release Teach Democracy (formerly knows as Constitutional Rights Foundation) from any and all claims, demands, and liabilities, including any all claims for copyright, libel and invasion of privacy. I also agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Teach Democracy and program organizers and sponsors for any and all claims, damage, costs and expenses resulting from lawsuits and other proceedings by any third parties arising out of any acts, omissions or conduct of my child while s/he is participating in the 2024 California Mock Trial Finals Competition.
As a participant in the 2024 California Mock Trial Finals Competition, I authorize Teach Democracy and/or assignees or licensees to take and use photographs, recorded video images and/or contest submissions (such as art and journalism) of my child, for educational, promotional or illustrative purposes. I understand that the above activities will not result in any profit, and that I will not receive any monetary compensation. Permission is granted to make changes or alterations and to use my child’s name or a fictitious name in editorial works or advertising.
As the parent or legal guardian of a participant in the 2024 California Mock Trial Finals Competition, I have reviewed the
Policies for In-Person State Championship Competition with the minor and we both agree to follow the policies. I understand that the minor identified above may contract a communicable disease while in transit to or from the competition or during the competition. This includes but is not limited to COVID-19, monkey pox, and all other illnesses. I agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Teach Democracy and program organizers and sponsors for any and all claims that may arise from the minor contracting or exposing others to a communicable disease.
I also acknowledge and agree that if the minor named above tests positive for a communicable disease or comes in close contact with someone who tests positive for a communicable disease, they may be required to: (1) be quarantined; (2) receive medical care or be hospitalized or (3) change travel arrangements.
