neadodsThey've announced this year's Shakespearean Mock Trial, once again to be presided over by a kickline of the nation's highest judges, led by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
Potted plot: The Globe War Crimes Tribunal called Henry V to trial for his treatment of prisoners in the play under his name, with the Archbishop of Chaterbury as a co-defendant. After their acquital, the French Civil Liberties Union filed a civil suit on behalf of the slaughtered French POWs, which also resulted in an acquital which was upheld in appeals. Now the Supreme Court of the Amalgamated Kingdom of England and France is deciding if the civil trial judge’s conclusions of law are supported by his findings of fact. (Full writeup in a pdf here).
Topical, but this isn't as interesting to me as last year's case, and I couldn't buy tickets until payday anyway, so until then, throw your $.02 in here; if I go, I'll be posting about it. (As usual, the management reserves the right to completely ignore poll results.)
