For this activity, the class will be divided into three groups: Prosecution, Defense, and Supreme
Court Justices. All parties will be given a packet outlining the case facts, witness testimonies,
and pertinent laws. Attorneys and judges alike will be responsible for studying the case and the
laws it involves. The prosecution and defense will each be given an allotted time to make their
case to the Justices who, in turn, will ask pertinent questions. After the first round, the
Prosecution and Defense will then offer rebuttals to the arguments brought up by the opposing
party. The Justices will then discuss whether or not the law was broken and whether or not the
law is constitutional. The judges will then explain their ruling.
