Day 3 Comes to a Close

It is 10:30 on the eve of day 3 and students are still hard at work. This was the most intense day yet for students with C-X drills, three lectures over subjects ranging from effective cross-examination strategies to moral relativism, and research time devoted to making their first case writing deadline. In the BA lab we began by discussing the finer points of communitarianism. Patrick and Mr. Alston discussed the difference between individualism and communitarianism. Jessica and Daniel helped break down a particularly difficult passage from the assigned reading. To round off the discussion, Courtney questioned the potential link between communitarianism and the social contract leading us to the conclusion that a good social contract would be largely based in a communitarian framework. The rest of lab time was devoted to topic analysis and preliminary case writing. Hopefully, everyone will have at least one case done by 6:30 tomorrow evening.
