Introduction to the Mock Supreme Court Argument

After an introduction to the case study method this morning, this afternoon the students at the St. Albans School of Public Service are being introduced to a different type of case: the first prep session for the upcoming mock Supreme Court argument.  Each year, SPS chooses a real case from the U.S. Supreme Court's current docket, and the SPS students serve as Justices and lawyers and argue the case.  SPS '15 will be prepping and arguing the Obergefell same-sex marriage case.

Will, Tom, and Sebastian are dialed in
