(Get it? Like, jury SUMMONS? Summoning? Whatever.)

You are a lawyer, defending your client. It's your job to eliminate jurors that might not align with your client's opinions.

THE GAME:

Read your client's fact sheet to learn their information, opinions, etc. Memorize it, as you're only going to see it once.

Read the newspaper to learn your client's crime. Try to make sure the jurors align with you on this point; it will be weighed higher than others.

You will have two rounds of juror questioning. Each round, you may eliminate two jurors who disagree with your client.

You can ask each juror up to three questions. A question can only be repeated once per round, so save the most important for last.

Make sure your questions align with what was on the data sheet, otherwise the juror's answers won't be of any use to your decision making.

After two rounds of questioning have passed, the trial will take place. A score will be calculated from the jurors' opinions of your client.

If the jury mostly agrees with your client's opinions, they'll declare him innocent! Otherwise, you'll lose. Shame on you.

CONTROLS:

Mostly everything is controlled with the mouse. 

Arrow keys to flip through the rules pages. 

Enter/return to continue when prompted.
