this but genuinely; in the mock trial arena i swing in attorneys interacting with the judge and how the judge responds is pretty important
pre-trial motions, objections, scope of questions, motions to strike, introduction of evidence, etc.
whats the legal procedure for these
other than judge mechanics this game seems pretty cool id be interesting in participating as basically any role with a win condition

Depends on where you go in the world.
In America, after a verdict has been reached by a jury, usually a juror will flock to whichever news anchor is willing to give them the highest payout to tell everyone what everyone said in the jury room. Thatās illegal in Scotland; you canāt talk about what happened inside the deliberation room.
Or youāll see cameras everywhere in high-profile American cases (Darrel Brooks, Alex Murdaugh etc.). Thatās also illegal here. Youāre not allowed cameras in the court room. England & Wales only now are allowing videos of sentencing and the camera is pointed towards the judge as they deliver it.
Journalism, particularly when the case in on-going, is very frowned upon here though they are experimenting as I said with that because itās supposed to create more transparency in the courtroom. Iām against it; I donāt think itās a good idea.
That being said; being a journalist that can influence the jury in a game does sound very funā¦

Given the name of the game, I do not expect this to be a just courtroom.
Thusly, we need Tess Ardent to set everything straight

I might be biased, but in game I expect jury to be mostly people who are like āspectatorsā. And spectators usually donāt tend to read 100% of posts with understanding. Meaning that while defendant and prosecution and wintessess are actively participating, the limited span of jury interference in the case will make themā¦ bit of uninterested. And by connection, role depending on reaction with them - journalist will be most likely very annoying to play.

Thatās absolutely what will happen if this game replicates real-life juries since they are designed to just be spectators. Same thing will happen to journalists.
But the best thing about this game is that, well, itās a game. I think itād be a good idea to add something that intentionally makes the jury system flawed so that people can actively participate and scandals can occur. For example, juries being influenced or juries having direct communications throughout the trial with the defence- or maybe even āimpostorā jurors who are aligned with the defense/prosecution from the start who are trying to sway other jurors.

Bitter about this and itās been 26 years which is like 150% of my lifetime ago
iām afraid to say that jury tampering or witness intimidation are criminal offences, and Iām sure that everyone here is a paragon of virtue who would never dream of committing blackmail or bribery. on the other handā¦ hey, is it really cheating if you arenāt caught?
