As a team look at all of the points together and decide upon the 5 main points that will make up your side’s argument. Each character witness needs to be discussed. Then determine how each witness is going to help your case. (Expert witnesses will need to be added on Tuesday.) Lawyers and witnesses need to pair up. Figure out who is examining whom. (I need to know this by the end of the period.)
