Speaker 1 (00:03):
He looks to the trunk. They count one, two, three,
The trunk pops open, and the spotlight of the trunk
shines on the victim of this case. Let me start
that again. I'm sorry, I'm gonna kill this bastard. I'm
gonna kill you, you fake tough guy. Join me, Katie
Fang as we take you inside the high stakes world

(00:25):
of mock trial competitions. Lack of evidence is not evidence.
Making assumptions does not mean that's the truth. Class Action
follows the drama of four teams fighting to win the
national championship. The other side was such a trash can
fire like a true trash can fire. First thing I

(00:45):
would inquiries, why do you want to become a lawyer?
We devoted twelve episodes of this podcast to that very question,
and we haven't gotten to the bottom of it yet.
With the journey to find out. It's a lot of
fun our worst human. I mean, what could be more

(01:15):
fun than a bunch of law students arguing with each
other all day and all nights. You like the control.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm gonna stop you. You're on

(01:37):
working hard. The law is about the rules, but more
important than rules, it is something that is based on
principles and values of equal justice and fairness of process.
There's a lot of power in a legal degree. All

and we expect them to walk into a courtroom and

(01:57):
talk about life and death and millions of dollars without
any practice or practical application of this. Think about music,
playing the violin in your basement and all of a sudden,
walking into Carnegie Hall one day and playing for the
first time. It would never happen in music, It would
never happen in sports. Why should it happen in law?

(02:18):
What just happen? That many say? Then I asked that
you take all the testimony and evidence that was given
to you, ladies and gentlemen, and you come to the
only right verdict, the only Jeff verdict, and find the
defendant guilty. I hope my kids never do my child.
What are you listen to? Class Action? Starting June seven

(02:44):
