Your task: Mock-hearing argument

You are exploring Lawyer work in a fictional case. Revise the argument while acknowledging the phone rule. Develop one work sample as you investigate. Your writing stays on this page unless you download it.

Supplied fictional records

Mock school hearing: the rule says phones must be off during exams. The student's phone rang once, with no reported use during the exam. The school retained it and says disruptions could undermine exam fairness. Return-time practice is unclear.

Revise the argument while acknowledging the phone rule.

One case, one work sample

4. Try the case and revise your approach

   Work through this activity using the evidence you gathered. The resulting investigation record stays with your work sample.

5. Complete your work sample

   Your records and investigation are already included. Revise the argument while acknowledging the phone rule. Add your own explanation or next question.
