The Training & Elections II conference (T&E 2 or Bob 2), also held at Camp Roberts, is a mandatory three day, two night conference which brings together all participants attending the Model Legislature & Court. This is an intensive training conference for delegates who go on to attend the Sacramento conference.

Delegates are assigned to their program areas and receive training specifically for those areas. Senators elect their President Pro-Tempore, Assembly members elect their Speaker Pro-Tempore, all legislators begin practice with parliamentary procedures, members of the Appellate Court elect the Attorney General, members of the Trial Court elect the District Attorney, all of the Court Program participants begin work on their individual cases, Forum members will elect the rest of their officers and begin to hear testimony, and the Youth Governor will interview and select the Cabinet.

On the last evening of the conference, the Lieutenant Governor and Speaker of the Assembly are elected in an exciting convention-style election similar to the format of the major political party nominating conventions. Also in the convention format, the crowded field of candidates for the following year's Youth Governor is narrowed down to three. These finalists go on to compete in Sacramento at the Model Legislature & Court for the following year's top spot.
