1 00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:07,080 Speaker 1: He looks to the trunk. They count one, two, three, 2 00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:09,920 Speaker 1: The trunk pops open, and the spotlight of the trunk 3 00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:13,200 Speaker 1: shines on the victim of this case. Let me start 4 00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:16,960 Speaker 1: that again. I'm sorry, I'm gonna kill this bastard. I'm 5 00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:21,759 Speaker 1: gonna kill you, you fake tough guy. Join me, Katie 6 00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:24,960 Speaker 1: Fang as we take you inside the high stakes world 7 00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:29,040 Speaker 1: of mock trial competitions. Lack of evidence is not evidence. 8 00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:33,360 Speaker 1: Making assumptions does not mean that's the truth. Class Action 9 00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:37,280 Speaker 1: follows the drama of four teams fighting to win the 10 00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:40,720 Speaker 1: national championship. The other side was such a trash can 11 00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:45,159 Speaker 1: fire like a true trash can fire. First thing I 12 00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:48,600 Speaker 1: would inquiries, why do you want to become a lawyer? 13 00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:53,640 Speaker 1: We devoted twelve episodes of this podcast to that very question, 14 00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,760 Speaker 1: and we haven't gotten to the bottom of it yet. 15 00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:59,600 Speaker 1: With the journey to find out. It's a lot of 16 00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:15,240 Speaker 1: fun our worst human. I mean, what could be more 17 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,720 Speaker 1: fun than a bunch of law students arguing with each 18 00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:24,320 Speaker 1: other all day and all nights. You like the control. 19 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:29,080 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm gonna stop you. You're on 20 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:33,039 Speaker 1: a fishing expedition to nowhere. It all comes down to 21 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:37,160 Speaker 1: for students and a coach or two in a room 22 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 1: working hard. The law is about the rules, but more 23 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 1: important than rules, it is something that is based on 24 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:48,320 Speaker 1: principles and values of equal justice and fairness of process. 25 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:52,360 Speaker 1: There's a lot of power in a legal degree. All 26 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 1: of a sudden, we take lawyers, they graduate law school, 27 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 1: and we expect them to walk into a courtroom and 28 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,360 Speaker 1: talk about life and death and millions of dollars without 29 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 1: any practice or practical application of this. Think about music, 30 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 1: playing the violin in your basement and all of a sudden, 31 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 1: walking into Carnegie Hall one day and playing for the 32 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,840 Speaker 1: first time. It would never happen in music, It would 33 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 1: never happen in sports. Why should it happen in law? 34 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:24,359 Speaker 1: What just happen? That many say? Then I asked that 35 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,360 Speaker 1: you take all the testimony and evidence that was given 36 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 1: to you, ladies and gentlemen, and you come to the 37 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:33,799 Speaker 1: only right verdict, the only Jeff verdict, and find the 38 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:37,800 Speaker 1: defendant guilty. I hope my kids never do my child. 39 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:44,640 Speaker 1: What are you listen to? Class Action? Starting June seven 40 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:48,480 Speaker 1: on the I Heart Radio app, Apple podcast or wherever 41 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 1: you get your podcasts.
