For my AP language arts class, my teacher ( Mrs.Marr) decided to turn us all into lawyers. We were all put into "legal teams" complete with a leader and the ability to fire anyone on your team ( if you are a leader)
Dartmouth v.s Woodward Case
The Case that my team and I were assigned was the Dartmouth and Woodward case. A Dartmouth is going to sue Woodward for turning their insitution into a public school. ( thats just a jist of it, there is A LOT more detail to it) Since my team is only made up of 3 people ( Claudia, Lauren, and I) there has to be two people against one. I took the liberty to volenteer for the defense position. My team decided already that the defense is going to loose because they have nothing for them. That is was I took this side though, I enjoy a challenge and I personally find myself good at turning "nothing" into something. I did extensive research on my case today and I have found two points in my case, that with the right wording and logic put behind it, That I will win in our simulated court session.
I also find this all a good opportunity to have an excuse to use one of my favorite catch phrases. " You just got lawyered!" It's most commonly used in a situation where you use logic to win an argument. Since we will be "lawyers" with our cases, I can officially say my favorite catch phrase without being completely out of place.
P.s- I challenge you to use my catch phrase sometime before December 1st ( my b-day =] ) and make a mini-post about it! Love, Erin =] <3
