Professor Petrovsky:
[during Moot Court]
Mr. McDermott, perhaps we can begin now. Mike McDermott:
I'm so sorry I'm late Judge Marinacci:
Come to order in the matter of Slater v. New York State Higher Education Services.The facts have been stipulated, the briefs have been read. Lead counsel for plaintiff, Mr. McDermott, please proceed with oral arguments now. If that is convenient for you Mike McDermott:
[sensing the judges are irritated that he disrespected them by not arriving on time]
Yes, it is, and again, I'm sorry that I'm late. The case which controls the issue at bar would be Texas v. Johnson... Judge McKinnon:
[interrupts him]
Texas v. Johnson?Mr. McDermott, that is a Supreme Court free speech case that has no bearing in the premises Judge Marinacci:
Each group was apprised to ignore that aspect of this matter and focus instead on the idea of de facto segregation Mike McDermott:
Right. Um, well... Kelly:
[interrupts him by standing up to continue the oral arguments]
Mr. McDermott has been unreachable so I'll take over, if it pleases the court Judge Marinacci:
Someone saying something "meaningful" would please us a great deal. Kelly:
What we have here is a clear case of gerrymandering, impacting schoolchildren and schools in the district that was created solely to separate students by race. Although not dispositive, the student body is more than ninety percent white
