1. ALL OF YOUR DOCUMENTS NEED TO BE PRINTED FOR THE TRIAL AND IN YOUR TEAM's FOLDER AT THE END OF THE TRIAL TOMORROW. Please be sure to turn in all of your required work (see the checklist for turning stuff in doc that is on yesterday's blog post):
  • Staple/paperclip all required preparation work with your name
  • Include the evidence you used as a lawyer or witness as relevant to your role in the trial
  • Include any revisions/notes you made during the trial
  • Put it in your team's folder at the end of the trial.

2. HEADS UP! A major assessment for this case will be an in-class, timed essay where you take a stand on the trial results.  I will give you a note-taking form at the courthouse for you to take notes during the trial on each team's case.  On Friday,  you will have time to discuss and outline your essay.  On Monday, you'll have all of class to write it.  
​
3. Tomorrow, we will leave class at 11:30 in order to get to the courthouse by noon. You'll have from 10:15-11:30 for last minute work time!

Agenda
