00:00Doing mock trial in high school was the single greatest thing I've ever done in my life.
00:07Mock trial is an intellectual competition where students pretend to be lawyers and witnesses
00:12and they put on one fake case in front of a real judge.
00:15Welcome!
00:16This idealistic version of how our justice system should be, as opposed to how it is.
00:21Hi, Jake.
00:22Wait, Kate?
00:23Principal Cavaluzzi asked me to volunteer as the attorney coach for the mock trial team.
00:28Mock trial.
00:28Of course I was thrilled to say yes.
00:31Yeah, of course you were.
00:32KJ, I guess, is going to help coach Busch Sox.
00:34For me.
00:35Not for the team.
00:36It's probably great for the team.
00:37I'm a public defender.
00:38I was a part of this very program.
00:40And I'm devastated to see what has happened to our legacy.
00:43And excited about-
00:44To turn it around.
00:44I want to be honest.
00:45Some of you might be cut.
00:46So none of you are going to be cut.
00:48You literal children!
00:49This is mock trial and it's just for fun.
00:51I want to let the other schools know that this year the trophy is ours.
00:56I'm here!
00:57It's mine!
00:57The fall play was canceled because Ms. Krasner got pregnant.
01:02Ahhhh!
01:03She's a whore.
01:04One of them tells you when you're going to die and the other one tells you where and how.
01:072042.
01:08Train ride to San Diego.
01:10I don't want to die on the train to San Diego.
01:13Oak Bridge's legacy will be secure.
01:16You guys have had your fun but we're going to crush you.
01:18I hate them with every fire of my being and we will defeat them.
01:21They hate to see a black queen winning.
01:22How do I know this?
01:23Because I'm a black queen and I've never won against them.
01:25So explain that.
01:26What are you doing?
01:27These are kids.
01:27This is supposed to be fun.
01:28I'm just being honest with them.
01:29I'm coming back because I really want these kids to have this memory of winning.
01:33Let's each take a side.
01:34Whoever scores the highest gets to coach the playoffs.
01:37Deal.
01:37Deal.
01:38Ugh!
01:39Ted, you can't sneak up on us like that.
01:40Sorry, I'm a cat owner and I've kind of adopted their style of movement.
01:44One, two, three.
01:45Go!
01:46Mock Trial saves us again with the power of the trial.
01:50Oh, pretty cool.
01:52Win or lose, it's really about the spirit of competition.
01:55I'm so happy during this time of the year because most of the time I'm very unhappy.
01:59Mock Trial saves us again.
02:02Mock Trial saves us again.
02:05That group of kids, they might deserve a little taste of glory.
02:09Together we'll change this world till it ends.
02:12For those of you competing tonight, your work has just begun.
02:18Counselors!
02:19Would you be interested in a three-way kiss?
02:23That's when we take a drink of our completely non-alcoholic seltzers.
02:26A journey of love.
02:28Love!
