The Task
You thought you were going to be sitting in class, a regular student in a typical school day, but today you are being confronted with a major, controversial issue. This is a multimillion dollar court case, and this one verdict will determine laws that establish the line between the paparazzi's freedom of press and the celebrities' right to privacy. There is only one person who can make that decision, and that person is you: the judge.
In order to make this ruling fairly, you must fully considering three aspects of this case: the legal precedent, the standpoint of the victims, and the defense of the paparazzi. Go to the "Resources" tab to learn about each. After you understand all sides of the case, you must make your verdict. In your ruling, you will need to explain to the plaintiff and the defendant the reasoning behind your decision.
