This learning resource focuses on the role of judges in the legal system, particularly in understanding complex cases without the aid of scientific evidence or expert testimony. Set in the historical context of 1908, the resource presents a scenario where a judge must decide on a worker's claim of mental stress due to their job. It emphasizes the challenges judges face when lacking access to medical or psychological expertise. The activity prompts students to engage in critical thinking and discussions about how judges can reach fair conclusions in the absence of definitive facts. Additionally, reflective writing and collaborative activities encourage students to consider what information would aid a judge's decision-making process and why expert help is crucial in litigating such cases.
