How's your preparation for the trial going? Being a judge is pretty hard but probably not as much as you guys.. I admire how hardworking everyone is in our class. and the other class as well. As a judge, I have to be familiar with all the courtroom procedures and rules and have the law in my head so that I can make clear decisions whenever there is a dispute between the two sides during the trial. I'm actually really nervous about the actual trial but I'll try my best That's basically what I have to prepare for. What's your character and what's your job? I don't want you to give away your team secrets though... How do you guys feel about the trial?? nervous? excited??

Well, I'm the defense team for Brutus, I have to explain why he is not guilty for killing Caesar. But in my opinion, I really think he is guilty, so I can't really think about great evidence and the questions for witness lol. It's just going ok... not really super good. just ok... well maybe not. anyway I'm so worrying about the trial...ha...

Hello Yeajin, I have to say you're doing a good job as a judge you are fair to both teams. Yes, I bet both teams are very stressed out and try hard to do a very good job on their individual parts because we all know this is 20% part of our grade and we cannot do a bad job in this. I personally enjoy trial/court and debate activities. I just love them somehow because it all comes to a resolution and we get to sound smart in it.

Oh Yeah! I am judge too:) It is pretty hard i expected it to be really easy... Looking for judge's duties and powers is pretty tough because Internet doesnt give exact explanation, so i have to watch real trials. Its kind of fun though to rule the court during a trial.

Hi Yeajin! I heard that you and Sergey are the judges for Julius Caesar trial. It sounds like you guys have a lot of things to prepare for it without anyone's help. I really admire you guys working hard for it even though we have a lot of things to study for Julius Caesar test and book project and other homework assignments from the other classes. But it's a good thing that we have 1 week of spring break. I hope you guys have a nice spring break!

Preparing for the trial is a hard work. I have to research my character and be prepared for the questions. I am Lepidus (in prosecution team) and I have to prove Brutus is guilty for killing Caesar. I feel that I¡¯m not playing a significant role because Lepidus was not associated with assassination. He spoke 3 lines in the book and the known information was that he was a politician and became a triumvirate after Caesar¡¯s death along with Antony and Octavius. I am nervous of the trial because I wouldn¡¯t receive good mark if I hesitate and stumble. Watching a video of mock trial would help.

i was really frustrated with this assignment, especially considering that we were only given 3 days to work on it. and it just seemed like too much work because we have so much going on, it's just crazy. although, i think once our group started like actually discussing and brainstorming, we were doing pretty well. i have a pretty strong feeling that we will not win because we are defending brutas and there's a lot of evidence to prove that brutas is guilty. but as long we are working at our best and get credits for that, i'm happy with it

I'm one of the prosecution team. It's tough to include everybody in the arguments that we have come up and I'm worried if we'll be able to finish writing down the questions to ask during the trial. I'm kinda excited to see how the actual trial runs if everybody is enthusiastic and eager to win each other. The most challenging part is to think in each character's perspective in order to use the power of witness!

Since im on the defense team, im on brutus's side :3 it's very difficult, after all brutus did kill caesar >< so far the hardest task for me is to find arguments that can support our main point >< Since my character is Pompey i need to do more research~~ i had to include things about pompey's past and try to synthesize it with the trial and try to make it useful.

I'm on the defense team and I'm the roman citizen. I had to change my character traits because my character's story didn't really fit the whole trial thing and it doesn't really go along with the whole story. So I am not sure what I am going to do since it is a very important part of the grade but still I have to be true to my own character. So I guess I will just figure something out instead but to be honest I don't really want to do this thing And I think other people would think the same as me too.

I'm Cassius and I'm on the prosecution team. First, I was in the defense team, but Ms.boyd wanted me (Cassius) to be on the prosecution team, so I had to change it. I was wondering why I was on the prosecution team, because I was also one of the conspirators. However, as my team was working as a team, I got why Cassius is on the prosecution team.

Well I'm Mark Atony in Prosecution Team. Bascially I'm trying to do revenge for Caesar and put Brutus in execution. Personally I think Brutus should be not guilty because he was used by evil conspirator Cassius from behind. So simply Brutus is like a puppet Cassius have controled to get more people to join killing Caesar.

Im in the defense team, Portia. I am just excited that we will somehow win the prosecution team hehe. Our team has done a little bit for the trial, but i know that we are going to win!! I got a relatively easy character compared to other characters in my group. So, I will try my best to win this trial!
