Trial Preparation.Side Note: Consider staying for additional trial preparation on Friday, October 24. This is a scheduled half day; however, I cannot move your trial dates (Oct. 28 and 30), so you may want to take advantage of this opportunity. You judge whether your team is prepared for trial or not. We will have a scheduled (party/off) class period after our trial comes to completion.
Take your preparation seriously. Seek out the evidence that will most help your team. Make sure your evidence is fail proof. Help your attorney develope questions that will most effectively guide your testimony.
Your trial grade will count twice in the major category. This is a big deal; we spend a lot of time with this "challenge" because of the important skills developed in the process.
What are we graded on?
Airtight Evidence-Do I know and understand my character? Is my evidence appropriate, concrete, and relevant? How well do I think on my feet during cross examination? In other words, I know who I am and what I intend to prove.
