For earning all the points (10/0), follow this case and complete a 2-page summary on the case by 5:00 December 15th. You can hold off for a couple of weeks as the defense may be wrapping up its case and closing arguments may be finished in the next week or 10 days. Then, to the jury.
Summaries that are pin-point accurate, elegantly written and typo free can earn up to 10 points. Low-hanging fruit!
