Hearing

ninety seconds, on the record · day #1

You'll get one contrarian position. Today's only.

You have 90 seconds to make your best case for it.

Then the judge — Hon. Imogen Hartley, a former union arbitrator who has read too many summary judgments — reads what you wrote and answers in voice. She scores the argument's craft, not whether she agrees.

Write the argument that holds up. The verdict is the payoff.
