They are talking an essay, it's not like they go unprepared.

+Mithilesh Kuncham try reading a case by learned hand or cardozo

me2. omg ;v;

The first girl seems to be spouting off regulation over and over, but when it comes to answering the judge's questions, she makes a difficult task much harder by not diluting the material to its most inherent characteristics. The job of the judge is to make an opinion, not understand the argument the lawyer is supposed to make clear in order to win the case. She keeps repeating herself because she can't make anything clear and she can't figure out when to say something to make it most effective. Don't get me wrong, obviously HLS made their decision and she an extremely smart cookie but this may be her most glaring weakness.

all she was saying was this is different from the ADA

nikita howard help me understand "ADA"

This is all they have been doing to an entire year... memorizing, practicing, etc... also, they are pretty damn smart!

Da Vidiamp Guy 💀💀💀

Best comment lol

😅

yes

hell id even take barber

You have no idea! There are days when I feel like serving water at a restaurant.

Haha trust me buddy, I also get those feelings. We all do it for a higher purpose I like to think, much more than just money. Why put up with the stress if you just want money?

Nothing simple about gardening or being a chef if you're doing it properly

yeah its most impressive but we as a society should hope that they'll be using their legal reasoning and expertise out there in the real world with the integrity, humanity, and compassion to match. we watch this video and witness the level of intellect, analysis, and rigor and can't help but wonder, how the hell did our political and legal system allow us to have the current president we have? is our system flawed/broken? is all this in vain? is this the fall of rome? are we doomed to self-destruct? my theory is that while a lot of these young legal minds exercise and shape their idealism in school, when they go out into practice, i suspect some or even most of them succumb to the lure of more lucrative cases/practices. i wouldn't be surprised if the lot of them end up doing corporate law and fighting for fortune 500 corporations instead of arguing for an immigrant child and i wouldn't blame them. heck, it may not even be for financial reasons but that its just a less stressful type of law. the pressures of daily life makes it so easy to just not fight the good fight and settle or give in to our deep seeded selfishness until it becomes all too easy and habitual. and that's not just law. its common in health care where a lot of health care professionals spent so much time studying at university and come out with an ideal vision of how health care is and should be but when they looked more closely at their student loans and how real life practice isn't the evidence based medicine they were taught and that fighting the system is an uphill battle, thats when the state of health care becomes less surprising. we see the greed seep in all these professions and industries, or rather the collective self-interest that effectively looks like corporate greed, and we arrive at the conclusion that all the intelligence in the world means nothing if there's no consideration for your fellow human being. but i guess that conclusion depends on your personal philosophy or sense of altruism and thats a whole different rant i could get into. sorry, end rant.

@@randyt700 Thank you for writing this comment. But however I see hope in the future, it is understandable that we are undergoing an unprecedented situation and many people are struggling, working their best to put this scattered society back together, pieces by pieces. I know that there is a lot of chaos right now but I am trying my best to focus on the things that I can manage and I hope that you can find a way to put your thoughts into action as well. Wish you all the best.

@@randyt700 Congratulation you just wrote the TRUTH of the century.THERE IS MORE HUMANITY IN MY DOG THAN MOST HUMANS OF INTELECT. MAY GOD BLESS U.S.ALL✌️💙🙏✡️✝️🇺🇸🗽🇺🇸🗽

yeah 😂😂 and an additional other

Lol

This is why you prepare beforehand. We fear that we do not know or understand.

Ryan Bergen was so happy to see that

hand arthritis incoming

The deaf people in the room had to be confused when they started talking about Wendy's and McDonald's hamburgers lol.

Reason is the most important than knowledge and Vocabulary for a judge

she made partner at 28 years old. owns her own law firm, worth over100M now

well here name IS lawson, isntit @@irshviralvideo

@@angelamccarthy4731 Jennifer mooley

Bill Elliott But imagine how well this would prepare you to make winning arguments in less distinguished settings.

The GMM lol tbh with her articulate is an understatement wouldn't be surprised if she even just straight up talks like that on abnormal basis

Dumbbells Only normal*

Most people at Yale and Harvard Moot Courts are very articulate.

The GMM hccrhryddv Jt

Nice that she can talk that way, but her points weren't the best.

It takes lots of practice and many hours of hard work, but you can get there! It'll be worth it in the end :-)

@@theshunnedBandersnatch exactly. It may seem difficult at the beginning but after a while you feel confident with such an activity of public speaking or debate.

No - that's a product of the top-down dynamics. It's much easier to ask questions, create ambiguity and dissect an argument than positively advance an argument in such pressing circumstances. The oralist's individual performance affects their pay, debt, time and family - everything - in a tangible and appreciable fashion.

Essentially, all the judges have really done here is read the brief and think of a few high-level questions. Kagan is the exception whereby she has a few hypotheticals she has thought of. You know what school Kagan went to, Scalia school.

So clear. I wish all Americans speak like them.

love you man!

Once you start you’ll get the hang of it. I’m in my second year, and law is not as difficult as people make it out to be; as long as you stay on top of the workload (which is A LOT of reading)

Don’t worry it’s easy

TheRealDyscyples lmao thank u for saying that this video mad me so nervoussss!

You get to read a lot, learn a lot, write a lot but this work will pay off if you're curious and motivated trust me do not feel less good by watching this video but make it your goal

Lol easy my ass

+jmatrixrenegade1971 she seems very qualified--but do you think that was a move of tact--that that would curry favor in some capacity?

I wouldn't be surprised if the organizers were influenced by her condition when choosing her if there needed to be a tie breaker among leading options to take part.

No, she just happened to be pregnant.

My mom was pregnant in Med school

D Frs why not? It's not like there's a rule about not being pregnant while at uni.

Lol we got it

Very impressed by every student that I've seen from this school so far, albeit I dislike how this school only seeks out justices from the top of the heap, and most well known. It'd be nice if they randomized the judges a bit so that it's not always based on "merit." I'm sure plenty of these students will land in the hands of justices from all levels of the judicial system once they go out into the field.

@@christopherarreola9066 It's a bit of a prestige thing, but also a bit of a treat for the finalists. Getting to argue in front of a Supreme Court Justice as a law student is a *huge* deal, and something these finalists will remember for the rest of their lives.

intricate and dense is the problem. Gerry Spence is one of the greatest lawyers who ever lived and he'd be CRINGING at this. EDIT. But I suppose a trial lawyer convincing a jury is a lot different from what this is.

because you have a brain?

DSAS thanks captain obvious!

Change your major: US History, Political Science, or English Literature. Maintain a high GPA and score high on the LSAT.

Nsly lee same

Because Law commands you to learn law .xD

DE Fiverr you can lositen, look up a cases oral arguments

i finished my BS in accounting years ago...am always interested in law...never pursue it though.. In the final year of my studies, i stumbled upon John Grisham Novel The Firm...became my favourite author..been hooked ever since..now self employed working in a bake shop and doing woodworking as a side business..well

You need to know what you're gonna talk about. If you have well researched your subject you won't even think about other people and will be so focused on the problem in itself. They have confidence partially and essentially because they have well researched what they're talking about. If you can't prepare what you're gonna say in front of people, you have to sort of shut down and eliminate all the distractions, focus on the problem you're dealing with. Either way, Focus is key. But then again, this is just my opinion! Good luck!

@@user-py6zb3xj9u idk man even if i were to prepare excellent resources/materials, i would still struggle to do this well 😩 its just my fear of public speaking i guess

Ali Bata actually she already knows the answer. She prepared her case and know everything about it. Yes it is stressfull, but she it's very doable.

@@ImWristt I agree with you in a la student as well and we do orals multiple before we go to the actual moot in front of teachers and seniors and we always prepare every single questions possible for both respondent and petitioner

statistically speaking you should expect to see at least 50% women...

including a current supreme court justice - yes, very cool.

amber, thats because you are sexist

Mike Hascats Damn, I'm a month too late. 😞

I dont. I think its normal

AMBER GOODEN yeah!

Amazing!

That sounds like an excellent argument for amending the ADA

Not the same as human rights, and these is a human rights case

I am peparing for CLAT 2020 :)

What is up with people being shocked there's a pregnant woman? lol It's not like it's unusual to be pregnant in your twenties.

@@milly4543 Not shocked but proud of her.. im really proud of her

Right

Only matters with regards to the court you're in. State court, its legal. Federal court, its illegal. That's why Federal employees can't do things that aren't federally legal.
