Mock Trial (Civil case) The Case of the Flaming Brake Pads
The scenario is this: After a serious accident, parents of a disabled child have decided to sue four different “responsible” parties to the accident. All four parties have agreed to hold the trial in a single case, so there are four different defendants in the case. The different defendants are often at cross-purposes, so it doesn't amount to a four-against-one case for the plaintiff. The plaintiff's attorneys are charged with winning at least a $10 million judgment for their clients.
