This week we've got some big names, a big announcement, and a big story.
(00:00:51) Introduction. Some interrogation based on a question raised by a few listeners... (00:02:54) The Protest Committee. Loyola's Susan Poehls and Baylor's Rob Little discuss the issue raised last episode by Jared Rosenblatt: Is reading on Zoom a rules violation? (00:22:47) The Break. We announce the results from Southern Classic, congratulate the four teams who earned bids to NTC Nationals, and check in on the case balance from the second weekend of NTC regionals. (00:31:03) Motion in Limine, with guest judge Annie Deets. Since 2010, Annie has been teaching at Emory Law. Find out where she's headed this Fall! (00:54:55) Our main story: AAJ/STAC: Past, Present, and Future. It's the history of AAJ's Student Trial Advocacy Competition, why the competition has struggled recently (our guest pull no punches), and how they've taken real steps to improve it for 2022. We talk to AAJ's incoming president Tad Thomas, Cumberland's Judge Jim Roberts, Liberty's Pam Bell, Baylor's Dave Deaconson, and South Carolina's Brett Bayne. Spencer narrates, and Justin causes trouble.
