What is the name of your state? Washington

Hey everyone, I'm presenting a fictional case in my government class in the next week or so and I am on the petitioner side. At the start of each presentation the lawyers are supposed to say something like "Will the chief justice a please..." so on and so forth. Do you know what the rest of that sentence is? Also, at the end of the lawyers presenation a lawyer cannot say "the end" there is an appropriate way to say it but I dont know which way that is. Please help a confused high school senior

My response:

Since you're apparently talking about Appellate level justices, you stand at the podium and say, "If it pleases the court. My name is _______________, and I represent the Petitioner in this matter, Mr. _____________. The issue before this Honorable court is whether the lower court . . . . " It's always a good idea to wear a see-through blouse, and try to show a little nipple action.

Then, at the end of your arguments, or when your light turns red, you bow, or curtsy to the court. Try to smile, and say, "God damn it, you better decide for my client, or there's gonna be some dead justices in the parking lot tonight."

Good luck.

What to say

Thanks. As stated in a different post I said that Miller (fictional character) sued his state and he won his case in the lower courts. I could understand saying "If it pleases the court. My name is _______________, and I represent the Petitioner in this matter, Mr. _____________." So I'll be saying that, but my government teacher was saying something about the chief justice, he said it a little too fast for me to write down. And then with the whole "see through blouse" that's kinda funny. I'm a senior in high school, that would never happen! Funny though.

My response:

Many people have different styles. Another suggestion would be:

"Honorable Chief Justice, and Justices. If it pleases the court, my name is Kimmy, I represent the Petitioner in this matter, Mr. _____________."

If you want to win. Try to work in a humorous, , anecdote too.

Thanks, I'll use the first part..."Honorable chief justice, and justices. If it pleases the court, my name is Kimberly, and I represent the petitioner in this matter, Mr Miller." The court would laugh if I said the second part...But that would be embarassing. And with the whole "nipple action" again, this is a fictional case that I'm doing in a high school. We have 3 "judges" 2 of which are girls. Why would they want to see that? That's just wrong! lol

My response:

Well, do a little "judge research." Find out if either or both are Gay. You already have a guy acting as one of the judges, and all you need is a majority vote, two out of three, to win!

I'm telling you Kimberly, if you have the research about the judges in your pocket, and then baby, you gotta use whatever you got! Remember, your client's life hangs in the balance!

Not so naive. I'm just a senior in high school who doesnt want to strut her stuff in front of the class. All though, I'm sure there are woman lawyers who do things in order to win their case. Good plan, just not my thing
