Lawyers: The defence (Abolitionists; against slavery)
First you have to do some backup reading to understand who you are. What is your role in the society and how do you stand in the matter of slavery. You are to share information with the historians.
You are to prepare for the trail. Find evidence on the web and witnesses that supports your case. Remember you cannot present the evidence yourself. You may ask members of the historians to speak on behalf of the evidence you have found. You are to instruct them.
Submit a list of participants and the roles they are playing to the Judge or her clerk. Once you have your case outline, you may prepare your final argument before the court. Remember, at that time, you can only reflect upon evidence that has already been introduced. New evidence will only be considered your opinion and most likely objected and sustained by the judge.
In trail the judge or the prosecution can ask for documentation of your evidence. So remember to make notes on where you find your facts.
You are also to prepare 5 questions for the members of the jury. The questions must help decide whether or not each member of the jury is objective enough to be a member of the jury.
