SIMULATION
Judge: Good morning. I understand we are here today to hear Big Car’s Motion the Summary Judgment.
Mr. Cheatam: Good morning, your honor, Dewey Cheatam for Big Car Company. That’s correct, your honor.
Judge: I also know that this case is set for a jury trial. So what you want me to decide today is whether or not Ms Darcy has stated sufficient facts that might support a charge of sexual harassment. You, Mr. Cheatam are going to tell me that, on the facts as stated by Ms Darcy, no reasonable jury could, under the law, find the defendants here guilty of sexual harassment and maintaining a hostile workplace.
