Please read the following hypothetical scenario and answer the TRUE/FALSE question related to the scenario. Sally Pimberton did very well at the Apple, Core, and Pear firm.  She quickly became a very valued employee.  Attorney Walker asked Sally to accompany him to court and assist him during a big trial.  Sally was excited as she took notes during voir dire.  She felt as if she was truly assisting Mr. Walker in the case.  The Apple Firm was representing the defendant in an automobile accident case.  The defendant was being sued for damages.  After the jury was selected and sitting in the box, the trial began.  The Plaintiff’s attorney (opposing side) put their first witness on the stand and began asking questions.   After the third question was asked of the witness, Sally wrote a note on her legal pad and pushed it over to Attorney Walker.  The note said: “Shouldn’t you object? He’s leading the witness!” TRUE/FALSE:If the opposing attorney was in fact asking “leading” questions, Sally was correct to tell Attorney Walker to object because the Plaintiff’s attorney is not allowed to “lead the witness” on direct examination.

Imagine two magmas that are identical in all respects (for example, same chemistry, pressure, volume) except that one magma is hotter than the other. Which magma will have the higher viscosity? 

Please read the following hypothetical scenario and choose the best possible answer regarding the question asked after the scenario. Sally Pimberton was recently hired as a paralegal for the firm Apple, Core, and Peal, L.L.C.  Sally has been tasked with drafting an Answer to a Complaint filed in state Circuit Court.  She remembers from her legal classes at ESCC that she has 30 days to answer a complaint in Circuit Court.  Sally goes to the Master Calendar (as she was taught to do in her training with the firm) where all deadlines are carefully kept so that she can insert the deadline for filing her Answer.  She knows that the Complaint was served on her firm’s client on September 11th, 2017.  Sally will mark the deadline to file the Answer on what date?

TRUE/FALSEDocumentary evidence is another type of real evidence, however, because documents contain human language, and because of the historical development of the common law, documents present special problems not presented by other forms of real evidence, such as when they contain hearsay.
