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.

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.

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?
And I thought Moot Court in high school is stressful. I could never muster enough courage to argue a 10 minute case in front of such distinguished judges.
It's amazing how well versed they are in the knowledge of the law. Also impressive how they are confident enough to stand their ground in front of judges.
Also, these judges already went to law school. They don't need you to educate them on the law. They need you to show REASON. The test isn't law knowledge and vocabulary. It's a test to see if you can win a case with reason, interpretation of the law, and evidence.
As a mooter, when you speak in front of a judge and various senior counsels in the finals is one of the most intimidating things I have experienced. Public speaking is not nearly as harsh because you normally prepare material to at least entertain. But there sits a person or persons who knew so much more about law than you probably ever will and you not only have to be confident about your argument and legal principles but also persuade the judge. It’s even worse when you have a legal issue that asks you to argue on a policy grounds or vague concepts of ‘nature justice’ and have to go against precedents.
You can definitely tell the distinction between the judges and the oralist. Judges can explain something with the simplest terms and easy to understand scenarios while oralists tend to over complicate with terms that not all can certainly understand
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.
@@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.
Okay as someone with CRIPPLING anxiety and also very few brain cells, simply just watching this nearly sent me into a panic attack. I could not imagine ever doing this. Wow. Loads of respect and admiration for these people, because I truly could never 😂

At 1:05 the gal described exactly what is happening today where states are illegally overriding federal drug laws -- something the U.S. Constitution specifically prohibits under the Supremacy Clause.
I'm six minutes in and already disagree with her opening statement. Being disabled doesn't let you leapfrog more qualified people, but what the ADA does guarantee is that you won't be excluded from a position based on a disability unless the accommodations pose an undue burden on the employer. I would say, no that a company should not be made to show any preferential treatment to a disabled job candidate but it does guarantee that if an employer finds you the best candidate for the job with the exception of your disability, you can't be disqualified because of your disability, nor asked to meet all the same standards as the other employees when interfering with disability, or given any sanctions for treatments and accommodations previously disclosed to the employer in direct relation to your disability. The reason employers can't be made to show any preferential treatment to someone who is disabled is because the majority of employers are private employers. The minority being our government. You can't make a law that applies to all using criteria meant for exceptions from the majority. We have a civil court system in place so that individuals can hash out things on case by case basis when the issue does arise. You have to be careful to interpret the law in a way that offers the most freedom to the people, whether they be disabled candidates or private employers.
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.

Is the second woman arguing that states can ignore federal drug laws? Pot is still illegal in all 50 states under federal law. The fact that a state says it's legal does not change that.
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.

I do not see anything extraordinary here that can be commensurate with the admission rate and consequently with the rank of the school ... we had similar arguments, to be honest, in my high school when I lived in Europe .... United Nations, in fact, does similar student symposiums that are not even a portion of any curriculum ...

They are talking an essay, it's not like they go unprepared.
They don’t know what will be asked. They get probed and practice arguing cases, making legal arguments, applying laws, and thinking under pressure.
What amazes me is the fact that these speakers don't seem to be referencing notes or anything at all. Amazing
This is all they have been doing to an entire year... memorizing, practicing, etc... also, they are pretty damn smart!
What I learned from this is that if you ever become a lawyer you should definitely avoid using the word "other".
