In-School Mock Trial Competition: don’t forget to sign up!!
2Ls and 3Ls:
The case of Jefferson Fisher Ranch v. Armadillo Modern Power Light Electric (AMPLE) has been docketed for January 2023 – February 2023.
In April of 2021, Jefferson Fisher Ranch lost their entire herd of cattle. Plaintiff has filed this negligence action against AMPLE, a private corporation, alleging their herd died as a result of drinking from a contaminated water source near an easement that AMPLE owned on the Jefferson Fisher Ranch. AMPLE used the easement to maintain power lines located on the Jefferson Fisher Ranch. Water testing revealed that the pond closest to the easement was contaminated with a nonselective herbicide, sodium chlorate. The herd exhibited symptoms that are consistent with herbicide poisoning.
But what really happened? And is AMPLE the liable party?
Is this a case of how far a person will go for love;
Is this a case of how far a person will go to pursue their dreams; or
Is this really a case of a negligent employee?
Both parties are in need of counsel, are you up for the challenge? Grab your co-counsel, sign up now, and start prepping your case!
We hope all 2Ls and 3Ls will sign up to join the competition! Sign-ups close on January 13 at 11:59pm.
On January 12 during the lunch hour, members of the Moot Court Board will be in the Moot Court Board suite to answer questions about the competition. Feel free to stop by if you have any questions!
