For the past few weeks I've been working with my teammates to develop case theories, trial strategies, and curve balls to test the competing AAJ team prior to their competition.  We, as the scout team, get to have all of the fun.  We get to deliberately break the competition rules, (mildly) disregard the Rules of Evidence, and openly flout (some) rules of courtroom decorum, all to make sure the competing team is prepared.  If the competing team's varied changes of trial strategies, opening statements, and evidentiary offerings is any indication of our success, we should be extremely proud of ourselves.
