Description
Table of contents
Is Harper Stanton a victim, or a villain? Toby Armstrong wrote a guest article for the Puffington Post website accusing Harper Stanton of taking a bribe to fix the Miss Olympia beauty pageant—an article this suit claims cost Stanton their job as CEO of Miss Olympia, Inc. Harper Stanton brings this civil case for defamation. Armstrong, a blogger who owns a pageant contestant coaching company, claims that the poorly-run show and the suspiciously high placement of one contestant are proof that Stanton took a bribe—a bribe that witness Rory Carter claims to have seen take place. Stanton denies the claims and asserts that Armstrong wrote the post out of jealousy over Stanton’s success.

This entertaining and well-balanced case file presents users with interesting facts and multiple types of exhibits for practice in entering into evidence, all while limiting the witness list to four witnesses. Easy to run as a short trial, you’ll crown Stanton v. Armstrong a winner.
