Case 12 — The Slop Report

Final case presentations, and the submission of a full independent investigation

10 May 2027

Twelve weeks of casework end with your own case, chosen by you, argued to a standard nobody had to tell you to meet by the end.

Before the session#

Have a five-minute version of your Assignment 4 investigation ready to present, distinct from the full written report — a courtroom summary, not a recitation of your working notes.

In the session#

Presentations, in short blocks with real questions from the room. You are being asked what any investigator is asked at the end of a case: what did you find, how sure are you, and what would change your mind.

Afterwards#

Assignment 4 is due at the end of the semester, not today — today is the dry run. Use the room’s questions to find the part of your report that isn’t as solid as you thought it was, while there’s still time to fix it.
