    • the Record for the 2013 tryouts;
    • the "MCB Respondent brief final" document (this document contains the "context" for the writing exercise on page 1 and contains the brief from your hypothetical teammate on the remaining pages);
    • the 2013 Writing Exercise (in a .docx Word file); and
    • Exhibit 1 (to answer question 8(A) of the writing exercise).
  • See Professor Bowman's email on Tuesday, May 28, for a suggestion of how to approach the materials.
