      Jargons are often used in law and court decisions (judgment). They are sort of titles for some rule or court decision which apply to a set of situations. Decisions/Judgements of courts apply the same rules to the same situations. For example: “This rule applies in Case X which has these circumstances. Therefore the same judgment and the same rules should apply to Case Y which has similar circumstances.”
      Context is key that’s why law students/lawyers study massive amounts of text so that they can apply those rules to a similar situation. Hope this explanation helps as to why law jargon sounds so alien.

    I just mooted this past semester, and this is absolutely impressive. To be able to delve into caselaw so effortlessly in answering minute and specific questions from judges is unbelievable. These law students could give most practicing lawyers a run for their money. Insane. That’s the level of Harvard.

    • @onebuffalo5402

      no they couldnt give practicing lawyers a run for their money. They'll be good in time but they also mock trail this about 200x before the competition. something real lawyers dont do (at best a real lawyer might run 1 mock trial if its a massive case)

      @@onebuffalo5402 You're right that they practiced way more than a normal attorney would, you're also confusing mock trial and moot court. Two completely different kinds of audiences and argumentation styles. If you don't practice, you're going to have a bad time. Oyez has a huge cache of SCOTUS oral arguments, you can really distinguish between someone who practiced and someone who didn't.

    • @esol927
      @esol927 2 роки тому +14

      It sounds like the basic facts of the case are that the Plaintiff took the generic version of a drug and was injured in a way that the warning label didn't cover. So they are suing the manufacturer of the *brand name* drug, who wrote the label that appears on the generic version. The question is whether the manufacturer of the brand name drug is sufficiently connected to the state, and to the harm that occurred, to allow the court to exercise jurisdiction over them.
      The first speaker relies very heavily on Ford, a case involving a similar, but not identical, set of circumstances, to argue that because the Supreme Court allowed jurisdiction to be exercised in Ford, the court should also allow jurisdiction to be exercised here.
      So they wind up arguing a lot about Ford, because the Judges are trying to poke holes in the argument that Ford is *actually* applicable to the facts of this case.
