Speaker 1: He looks to the trunk. They count one, two, three,
Speaker 1: The trunk pops open, and the spotlight of the trunk
Speaker 1: shines on the victim of this case. Let me start
Speaker 1: that again. I'm sorry, I'm gonna kill this bastard. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna kill you, you fake tough guy. Join me, Katie
Speaker 1: Fang as we take you inside the high stakes world
Speaker 1: of mock trial competitions. Lack of evidence is not evidence.
Speaker 1: Making assumptions does not mean that's the truth. Class Action
Speaker 1: follows the drama of four teams fighting to win the
Speaker 1: national championship. The other side was such a trash can
Speaker 1: fire like a true trash can fire. First thing I
Speaker 1: would inquiries, why do you want to become a lawyer?
Speaker 1: We devoted twelve episodes of this podcast to that very question,
Speaker 1: and we haven't gotten to the bottom of it yet.
Speaker 1: With the journey to find out. It's a lot of
Speaker 1: fun our worst human. I mean, what could be more
Speaker 1: fun than a bunch of law students arguing with each
Speaker 1: other all day and all nights. You like the control.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm gonna stop you. You're on
Speaker 1: a fishing expedition to nowhere. It all comes down to
Speaker 1: for students and a coach or two in a room
Speaker 1: working hard. The law is about the rules, but more
Speaker 1: important than rules, it is something that is based on
Speaker 1: principles and values of equal justice and fairness of process.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of power in a legal degree. All
Speaker 1: of a sudden, we take lawyers, they graduate law school,
Speaker 1: and we expect them to walk into a courtroom and
Speaker 1: talk about life and death and millions of dollars without
Speaker 1: any practice or practical application of this. Think about music,
Speaker 1: playing the violin in your basement and all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: walking into Carnegie Hall one day and playing for the
Speaker 1: first time. It would never happen in music, It would
Speaker 1: never happen in sports. Why should it happen in law?
Speaker 1: What just happen? That many say? Then I asked that
Speaker 1: you take all the testimony and evidence that was given
Speaker 1: to you, ladies and gentlemen, and you come to the
Speaker 1: only right verdict, the only Jeff verdict, and find the
Speaker 1: defendant guilty. I hope my kids never do my child.
Speaker 1: What are you listen to? Class Action? Starting June seven
Speaker 1: on the I Heart Radio app, Apple podcast or wherever
Speaker 1: you get your podcasts.
