How would you have handled the case as a juror, lawyer, or judge?
Very important to me is your assessment of the proceeding and the general conclusions about law, the legal system, and the legal players that may be drawn from the particulars witnessed. Think about what you saw. Be willing to philosophize, if that seems appropriate. Also, if the experience left you with questions, note them.
Some Points to Consider in Your Report
a. What did you see? For a big case, in which you saw only part of the overall case, describe the part you saw (e.g., voir dire, a motion hearing, opening statements) and how it fit into the larger picture of the case.
b. The legal and factual problems in the case or cases.
c. The legal subjects (e.g., contracts, torts) relevant to the case(s).
d. For a case with a jury, the ramifications thereof (e.g., judge’s instructions, attorneys’ terms of persuasion).
e. How would you have handled the case as a juror, lawyer, or judge?
