WEBVTT - Introducing: Class Action

0:00:03.400 --> 0:00:07.080
<v Speaker 1>He looks to the trunk. They count one, two, three,

0:00:07.280 --> 0:00:09.920
<v Speaker 1>The trunk pops open, and the spotlight of the trunk

0:00:10.480 --> 0:00:13.200
<v Speaker 1>shines on the victim of this case. Let me start

0:00:13.240 --> 0:00:16.960
<v Speaker 1>that again. I'm sorry, I'm gonna kill this bastard. I'm

0:00:16.960 --> 0:00:21.759
<v Speaker 1>gonna kill you, you fake tough guy. Join me, Katie

0:00:21.760 --> 0:00:24.960
<v Speaker 1>Fang as we take you inside the high stakes world

0:00:25.040 --> 0:00:29.040
<v Speaker 1>of mock trial competitions. Lack of evidence is not evidence.

0:00:29.600 --> 0:00:33.360
<v Speaker 1>Making assumptions does not mean that's the truth. Class Action

0:00:33.440 --> 0:00:37.280
<v Speaker 1>follows the drama of four teams fighting to win the

0:00:37.400 --> 0:00:40.720
<v Speaker 1>national championship. The other side was such a trash can

0:00:40.840 --> 0:00:45.159
<v Speaker 1>fire like a true trash can fire. First thing I

0:00:45.200 --> 0:00:48.600
<v Speaker 1>would inquiries, why do you want to become a lawyer?

0:00:49.600 --> 0:00:53.640
<v Speaker 1>We devoted twelve episodes of this podcast to that very question,

0:00:53.960 --> 0:00:56.760
<v Speaker 1>and we haven't gotten to the bottom of it yet.

0:00:57.200 --> 0:00:59.600
<v Speaker 1>With the journey to find out. It's a lot of

0:00:59.640 --> 0:01:15.240
<v Speaker 1>fun our worst human. I mean, what could be more

0:01:15.280 --> 0:01:17.720
<v Speaker 1>fun than a bunch of law students arguing with each

0:01:17.720 --> 0:01:24.320
<v Speaker 1>other all day and all nights. You like the control.

0:01:24.720 --> 0:01:29.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm gonna stop you. You're on

0:01:29.120 --> 0:01:33.039
<v Speaker 1>a fishing expedition to nowhere. It all comes down to

0:01:33.840 --> 0:01:37.160
<v Speaker 1>for students and a coach or two in a room

0:01:37.160 --> 0:01:41.240
<v Speaker 1>working hard. The law is about the rules, but more

0:01:41.280 --> 0:01:43.720
<v Speaker 1>important than rules, it is something that is based on

0:01:43.760 --> 0:01:48.320
<v Speaker 1>principles and values of equal justice and fairness of process.

0:01:48.720 --> 0:01:52.360
<v Speaker 1>There's a lot of power in a legal degree. All

0:01:52.360 --> 0:01:55.320
<v Speaker 1>of a sudden, we take lawyers, they graduate law school,

0:01:55.600 --> 0:01:57.880
<v Speaker 1>and we expect them to walk into a courtroom and

0:01:57.920 --> 0:02:01.360
<v Speaker 1>talk about life and death and millions of dollars without

0:02:01.360 --> 0:02:05.160
<v Speaker 1>any practice or practical application of this. Think about music,

0:02:05.480 --> 0:02:08.320
<v Speaker 1>playing the violin in your basement and all of a sudden,

0:02:08.360 --> 0:02:11.000
<v Speaker 1>walking into Carnegie Hall one day and playing for the

0:02:11.040 --> 0:02:13.840
<v Speaker 1>first time. It would never happen in music, It would

0:02:13.880 --> 0:02:16.720
<v Speaker 1>never happen in sports. Why should it happen in law?

0:02:18.680 --> 0:02:24.359
<v Speaker 1>What just happen? That many say? Then I asked that

0:02:24.480 --> 0:02:27.360
<v Speaker 1>you take all the testimony and evidence that was given

0:02:27.360 --> 0:02:29.840
<v Speaker 1>to you, ladies and gentlemen, and you come to the

0:02:29.919 --> 0:02:33.799
<v Speaker 1>only right verdict, the only Jeff verdict, and find the

0:02:33.880 --> 0:02:37.800
<v Speaker 1>defendant guilty. I hope my kids never do my child.

0:02:38.240 --> 0:02:44.640
<v Speaker 1>What are you listen to? Class Action? Starting June seven
