The case is essentially determining whether or not the court has the jurisdiction to award a judgement in favor of the victim in a PPE covid-era rule violation (the victim being the second team to present), and if the court does, what that punishment should be.@@ColtonBlumhagen

@alyariel9713 2 месяца назад

As someone who competed for the undergrad AMCA moot court competition, most people cannot recite a heavily complicated legal argument for 10+ minutes straight, especially with no notes. That's why it takes roughly 8+ months of preparation for competitions, it's challenging. Compared to interruptions, reciting is actually much harder and called a "dead bench" because of no interaction with the Justices. Time moves slowly and you need enough content to cover the allotted time you're given. Due to the amount of research you put in the cases supporting your argument, it's actually much easier to answer these questions off the cuff, and weave them into your argument roadmap. I'd like to see you try it sometime. 😄

@jonesy_5498 19 дней назад

If you are, consider yourself in the top 5% of the top legal RU-vid audience because the algorithm sensed your attraction to a Supreme Court simulation "situation," such as this. Congratulations. 5 years from now, we could be watching a similarly orchestrated competition with the speakers beamed inside our office or wherever we're watching from. 4.5 million viewer's have made another Harvard Law School competition from 4 years ago, viral. Some of us watching this year will become Judges, Supreme Court justices and or in politics. Either way 💯 consider yourself chosen, in the realm of law. I rest my case. 😊
