Assignment 1 – Week 1: Critical Thought
You’re the Critic. In this assignment apply the legal terms and language you have studied this week about supporting your opinion and write a review. You may either watch: 

  • The Good Wife is a CBS Drama. Please find Season 5, Episode 11 “Goliath and David” 
  • For those of you who cannot access The Good Wife on a service you already have, do not be concerned! Here is an alternative show to watch that should be available for no cost: Boston Legal – Hope & Glory

For your assignment, please do the following:

  1. Identify both the plaintiff and the defendant.

  3. Present each side’s arguments. Do this by discussing the facts they are asserting, the evidence they are using to support those facts, and the witness testimony they are presenting.
  4. Then, assume the role of a legal critic reviewing the show. Focus on the legal issues in the show and present your factually supported opinion about:
  • The plaintiff’s argument; 
  • The defendant’s argument; 
  • How the case was resolved; 
  • How you think the case should have been resolved (Did you agree or disagree with the outcome? In either case, tell me why), and, finally: 
  • What did you see in the case that you think would NOT happen in real life litigation?
