Study Hall -- Wednesday, October 19th

Sarah sits at her desk, working on her really sexy Fandom-High-populated Regency romance novel very important principal-type work.

The puppies are asleep in the basket in front of her desk, and anybody is free to pick them up.

"Last I saw him, which was...yesterday, I think...no, the day before, his ankle looked like a tree trunk."

"Oh man, I knew we should have taken him to the clinic," Cameron sighs as he takes out a notepad.

"He's stubborn like that. Not your fault." Beka rolls her head on her shoulders and pulls out her Flexis, which holds the assignment, and a notepad. "How'd you want to start?"

"I'm not surprised." Cameron sighs and looks over his notes. "Divide rolls and make sure we have some clear arguments that we all agree upon. The rest will be improvisation depending on what the other team says."

"Right. Well, if we don't know what Shep's going to be capable of, let's give him the smallest role and the one that can be prepared most in advance. No?" She taps a pen against her lips. "Seems like the critical thing is controlling the terms of the debate. They're going to want 'murder' defined broadly. It helps our argument if we keep it narrow."

[identity profile] cameronmitchell.livejournal.com 2005-10-19 05:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Cameron nods in agreement. "We definitely need to set apart the difference between murder and killing that happens in self defence or accidental to begin with. That leaves us with planned murder and passion crime and I don't think it's too hard to say those should never be allowed."

[identity profile] valentine-tart.livejournal.com 2005-10-19 05:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Beka considers this. "I think we should be even more narrow, if we can. Maybe we should require premeditation for it to be murder? Passion crimes are never 'right' but there are justifications in some legal systems. Mine, for example."

"There are justifications, but it's still wrong to have an impulse to kill. It's poor judgement if you let your anger get away like that." Cameron frowned. "I don't think you can simply wipe this sort of crime out of the definition because it's harder to defend."

"Maybe we should ask Ta-- Professor Maclay about the rules for that? I'm not sure what we can do. A juridical definition of murder is probably a good place to start. We can always rule stuff out later if she says it's OK." Beka chews her lip. "Which piece of this do you want to take?"

[identity profile] cameronmitchell.livejournal.com 2005-10-19 05:46 pm (UTC)(link)
"I think we should just do what the instructions say. I'm sure she expects us to be able to handle this ourselves. I like your idea of starting with the juridical definition. Second or third speaker is fine by me."

[identity profile] valentine-tart.livejournal.com 2005-10-19 05:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Beka nods. "OK. If I had to guess the other side's line up, Angelus will want to go last. Parker will want to go ... first, probably, to attack our definitions. And Phoebe in the middle. I'm good either second or third. Maybe we'll get a natural sense of flow as we're working."



[identity profile] cameronmitchell.livejournal.com 2005-10-19 06:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Cameron nods. "Sounds good to me."

*limps in very slowly*

Sorry I'm running late. I'm uh... not moving so well.

Where are we?


[identity profile] cameronmitchell.livejournal.com 2005-10-19 09:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Cameron frowns as he sees Shep limping. "Yo. You alright? I thought you said it was fine."

[ooc: It'll probably be easier on everyone if I get out of this one. I'm gonna go get him 'admitted' and sign off for the weekend. I *so* need to finish getting ready to leave. :)]

[identity profile] wraithbaitjohn.livejournal.com 2005-10-19 11:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[ooc: Thanks for the offer, but I already sent him over. I'm gonna 'call' the prof from there so it can all be handled IC and then I need to get back to finishing my packing. :)]

[ooc: OK, have fun this weekend!]

"Hey, you. You got worse. You should...get that taken care of." Beka looks concerned.


(OOC: No need to answer unless you want. But she'd have said something, so I wanted it for the thread.)
