Guiding Question Week 4

One field that shares a surprising amount of commonality with mathematics, in terms of precise and logical reasoning, is law. If a jury is to establish that someone is innocent or guilty, the legal teams have a burden to make strong, convincing arguments. These arguments often translate to very dramatic scenes in movies and TV shows which I will confess, I am a huge fan of. We can learn a thing or two from them nevertheless! Take a look at the two following clips:

  1. In this first clip, what are they key arguments put forward by the lawyer? are you convinced by his reasoning?
  2. In this second clip, focus on the first 30 seconds of the argument shared. Is it convincing to you? how does it differ from the prior clip?
