Your Excellencies, may it please this Honorable Court. I am Sidney Malicay, second counsel for the prosecution. As mentioned by my co-counsel, I will be arguing for the second charge for the next 15 minutes.

If Your Excellencies have no preliminary considerations, I shall now proceed to my presentation. *wait for reaction* Thank you, Your Excellencies.

The Prosecution submits that General Reed should be charged for committing the war crime of intentionally directing attacks against a hospital under Article 8(2)(b)(ix) on the basis of individual criminal responsibility for [choose one that you elect in your memorial] ordering, soliciting and inducing under Article 25(3)(b).

[speech proper...]

Your Excellencies, this ends my presentation for the second charge. Once again, it is respectfully submitted that the war crimes charged against General Smith be confirmed.

If this Honorable Court has no further questions, I will now give the floor to my co-counsel to present our remaining submissions. May it please this Honorable Court.

Reminder:1. PUT SIGN POSTS IN YOUR SPEECH.2. MAKE YOUR SHORT. BRIEF. CONCISE. Since you’re given 15 minutes each,

make a speech that’s around 6-7 minutes only to give you enough time to address the questions of the judges.

3. When a judge asks you, be polite. Agree if the judge’s point is helpful to your charge. If you disagree, do so in the following manner or in ways similar:

a. “I understand your concern/point, Your Excellencies, however, [state your position on the matter].”

b. “I understand, Your Excellencies, however, [state your position on the matter].”

c. “While it may be true that [state his point], however, the Prosecution submits that [state your position on the matter].”

d. “Yes, Your Excellencies, however, [state your position on the matter].”4. Answer the judge’s questions right away. Don’t say you will discuss the matter

later in your speech.5. In questions answerable with a yes or a no, answer first with yes or no before

explaining or citing whatever.6. When asked about the facts, it’s always more impressive to the judges if you can

cite the paragraph you’re referring to. So try to master the facts as much as possible.

7. Always be respectful towards the judges.8. No need to be aggressive; this isn’t a debate.
