8 Takeaways From Harvard’s Task Force Reports
Students of the second year course in Evidence at the Law School, who staged a fake riot during the class hour last Saturday, will hold their mock trial this afternoon at 2.30 o'clock in Langdell Center to prove the fallacy of human testimony. Professor J. MacA. Maguire, instructor of the course, will act as judge.
A number of the students who were present at the riot, but were not aware at the time that it was all a deception, will be called upon to testify. It is expected that a good part of the witnesses will contradict one another or be unable to give connected accounts of the affair.
The experiment was first tried in the classes of Professor J. H. Wigmore '83, formerly professor in the University Law School and at present dean of the Law School of Northwestern University.
